Biography

Estella Warren was a synchronized swimmer from the age of 7 until 17 in her native Canada. She moved away from home at 12 to train for the Canadian National Team. She was the Canadian National Champion for three years and represented her country at the World Aquatic Championship, where she placed second. A talent scout who came to a charity high school fashion show in which she appeared was impressed enough with her to take a Polaroid of her and send it to a New York City modeling agency. She was almost immediately signed to a modeling contract, and eventually appeared in "Sports Illustrated", "Vogue", "Vanity Fair" and two TV commercials for Chanel #5 perfume, both directed by 'Luc Besson' .

Quotes

Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really,comfortable with my body.

Canadians have this weird way about them where we really stick together.

I kept my clothes on. I borrowed money.

It was really strange to see all these apes standing around eating,popcorn, smoking, wearing sunglasses.

I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L. A. and choose,roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the,bills.

I suddenly felt the plane go down. I thought we were going to die. I was,really scared. I was sitting with my head in my hands.

I really appreciate the sport background because the structure and the,discipline that that gives a person is incredible, and it just carries,with you wherever you go.

I said I was going,to quit modelling and just go and see how I do. In the first two weeks,I got three movies. I was so excited, I had all my furniture shipped,out from New York.
