Caprice
Bourret (born October 24, 1974), often known
by just her first name, is an American supermodel
and actress.
Bourret was born in Hacienda
Heights, California and won the title of Miss
Teen California at the age of 16. After growing
up in Whittier, California she moved to the
United Kingdom in 1996 to further her career
in modelling. An appearance in a revealing dress
at the 1996 British National Television Awards
ceremony helped gain her public recognition.
Bourret has become one of the UK's most famous
models and is popularly known by just her first
name.
Bourret has appeared
on the covers of more than 300 magazines published
around the world, including GQ, Cosmopolitan,
Esquire, Vogue, Maxim and FHM. Bourret also
posed nude in the March, 2000 issue of Playboy
magazine. She was voted GQ Magazine's Woman
of the Year and Maxim's International Woman
of the Year three years running. She has also
been featured in television ad campaigns for
Diet Coke and Pizza Hut.
In addition to marketing
her image in posters and calendars, Bourret
has also developed lines of beauty products,
lingerie, and swimsuits. In 2001, she released
her first single as a pop singer, "Once
around the Sun", which was co-written by
90's star Chesney Hawkes.
Bourret is now moving
into an acting career. She has appeared on stage
in London in The Vagina Monologues and Rent.
She has also appeared in the films Hollywood
Flies, Nailing Vienna, and Jinxed In Love. Bourret
has hosted the series Caprice's Travels and
Friday Night's All Wright as well as several
award shows.
In early 2005, she appeared
on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. Viewers
saw her become agitated when other contestants
implied that she was only taking part to boost
sales of her products. She will also join Jose
Canseco, Bronson Pinchot, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth,
Janice Dickenson, Carey Hart, and Pepa from
r&b duo Salt-N-Pepa on the fifth season
of the VH1 reality series The Surreal Life.
