ESTELLA WARREN
Date of Birth: December 23, 1978
Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Warren was discovered while walking down a
runway at a high school fashion show. The former award-winning synchronized
swimmer had moved to Toronto at the age of 12 to continue her swimming
training with the national team. After the fashion show, she was advised to
apply to New York to get her career started, and before she knew it, Ellen
von Unwerth paid for her to go to the Big Apple, for a shoot for the Italian
issue of Vogue.
After this exposure, Warren became the focus of many photographers and
landed on the covers of magazines around the world including Elle, Marie
Claire, GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Special. In 1998 she began
working with Chanel No. 5, appearing in both print ads and television
commercials.
The commercial work led her to the world of acting and by 2000 she
was in high demand by studios. Beginning with the independent film,
Perfume, she quickly racked up a number of big budget films like
Tangled, Driven, Planet of the Apes opposite Mark
Walhberg and Kangaroo Jack (2003).
When not on the set or a fashion shoot, Warren enjoys horseback riding,
playing the piano, singing, and of course, returning to her original
passion, swimming.
