Celebrity Supermodels Stephanie Heinrich

Fans of TV shows, movies and magazines have noticed a trend toward celebrity supermodels. The attractive women who graced advertisements prior to the 1980s were largely anonymous due to limited career opportunities. The intertwined nature of print and online media has helped turn supermodels into celebrities.

Tracking the Increased Fame of Celebrity Supermodels

Supermodels who have started their careers as Playboy Playmates demonstrate perfectly the rabid interest of male readers. Pamela Anderson broke her career wide open when she appeared as the Playboy centerfold in February 1990. Anderson's roles in Home Improvement, Baywatch and other ventures helped her stay in the limelight for more than a decade.

Anderson is not the only celebrity supermodel to use Playboy as a career launching pad. Readers who have membership passes to Playboy's website and VIP subscriptions to model websites have seen their favorite supermodels grow more famous. Shanna Moakler appeared in Playboy in the December 2001 issue and has appeared in the pages of other publications in the last seven years. Kelly Monaco turned her April 1997 appearance into future jobs with General Hospital and pictures in Maxim.

The problem for most readers who want to track the progress of celebrity models is subscription costs. Models have learned the value of their images and charge readers for VIP access and membership passes on a monthly basis.

Alpha Models eliminates the subscription cost problem by collecting exclusive celebrity galleries within one website. Viewers can learn more about the models featured on the website by emailing admin@alphamodels.net.
