the photographs, it’s easy to make assumptions about their easy and glamorous life. I mean, how hard can it be to hold a sexy glare or a steamy sultry smirk? Certainly, lying on the beaches of Hawaii beats standing over a hot grill at McDonalds any day of the week. From the outside, it looks all too easy and simple.
But for those who attempt to make it in a very competitive industry, modeling is much more than just smiling or pouting in front of a camera. First, every inch of their body must be maintained at a specific weight in order to maintain their status. In fact, super hot actress and model Kate Upton was denied a Victoria’s Secret shoot in a public spat because she was “too fat” for them. And for many men, Upton is their favorite pin-up and screensaver. Modeling can be a brutal business in which women’s weight is closely scrutinized.
Then there are the long hours of shooting. The final product may look nice and cozy, but models must pose for hours upon hours to ensure the one perfect photo was taken. The long shoots and limited amount of nourishment they eat leads them to alternative sources of fuel. In particular, they turn to drugs. It’s been said that models use cocaine in the same way athletes use steroids – for performance enhancement. The need to look spry in every shot taken over an eight-hour period leads to models using coke and other drugs to look and appear their best.
But their casual drug use quickly becomes a habit; and a dangerous and potentially deadly one at that. These are 10 Famous Models Who Got Hooked On Drugs.
10. Anna Nicole Smith – Prescription Pills
Anna Nicole Smith, also known as Vickie Lynn Hogan, enjoyed a turbulent and successful career as a model and in Hollywood. She first gained popularity in 1993, winning Playmate of the Year. She had been a stripper prior to appearing in Playboy and started dating a wealthy man by the name of J. Howard Marshall. Shortly after appearing in Playboy, she married Marshall. Not coincidentally, her appearance in Playboy coincided with numerous TV and movie appearances beginning in 1994. She landed many modeling gigs, and during the course of her later years, the world was introduced to a heavily medicated Smith live on television. It ended up being a sad end, as everyone had feared, when Smith passed away on February 8, 2007. Her death was ruled a drug overdose. It was revealed Smith used to take massive doses of prescription medication on a regular basis. Long compared to Marilyn Monroe for her looks and hefty attributes, the irony of their deaths overshadowed their moments in the sun.
