Beauty Elle Macpherson Pictures
Elle Macpherson (pronounced /ˈɛl məkˈfɝːsən/; born 29 March 1964) is an Australian model, actress, philanthropist and businesswoman. She is best known for her record five cover appearances for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue from the 1980s and '90s and into the 2000s. She is also known as the founder and public face of a series of business ventures including Elle Macpherson Intimates, a lingerie line, and "The Body", a line of skin care products. According to Forbes, she is worth around £60 million.

Macpherson was born in Cronulla, Sydney, the daughter of Peter Gow, a former president of Sydney rugby league club, the Cronulla Sharks. Her mother Frances worked as a nurse before she married. Elle grew up in Killara, a North Shore suburb of Sydney, and attended Killara High School. She is the eldest of four children including activist Mimi Macpherson. Macpherson’s parents divorced when she was 10, and she moved with her mother and two siblings. Her mother remarried, and a mistake registering at a new school meant that her name was changed from her father's, Gow, to her stepfather's, Macpherson. Macpherson made her movie debut playing an artist's model in the 1994 Sirens, which starred Hugh Grant, Sam Neill, Tara Fitzgerald, Kate Fischer and co-starred Portia de Rossi. Macpherson gained 9 kg (20lb) to disguise her athletic frame for the period role. After Sirens, Macpherson followed with a 2-year series of acting roles, appearing in films such as Woody Allen’s Alice, Batman & Robin alongside George Clooney, The Edge with Anthony Hopkins, and The Mirror Has Two Faces with Barbara Streisand.

In 1999, Macpherson appeared in five episodes of the United States sitcom Friends as Joey's roommate and girlfriend, Janine Lecroix. Macpherson went on to film Jane Eyre with William Hurt and has also appeared alongside Ben Stiller and Sarah Jessica Parker in If Lucy Fell. Her most controversial acting is the Showtime cable network miniseries A Girl Thing in which she plays a woman experimenting with bisexuality alongside Kate Capshaw. In early 2009, it has been reported that "The Body" went on a business venture trip to Montreal, Canada alongside Mischa Barton and Ashton Kutcher in attempt to shoot a sample of the proposed reality show A Beautiful Life, which would talk about aspiring models working for a modeling agency, trying to make it big in the Big Apple and in the Fashion World.
