Laetitia Casta is more than a sex symbol; this stunning supermodel was chosen to be France's national symbol of virtue and beauty. Selected by 16,000 mayors of her native country, Laetitia became the new "Marianne", an allegorical symbol of the French Republic.
Immediately, bare-breasted statues of her were put up in town halls across the country. Laetitia was extremely honored by the mayors' selection, but may have given offense when she moved from Paris to London. Citing the higher taxes collected in France, she made the move only for monetary reasons, but left a little more than sadness among her countrymen.
Laetitia was born on May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audemer, Normandy, France. Her childhood was spent in Corsica. She is 5' 7" with measurements 35C-24-35. Her well-rounded figure has kept her income steadily climbing. She is reportedly worth well over $6 million dollars. She is best known for barely concealing her curvaceous body with clothes that are meant to draw eyes to her most ample assets.
A Female Model Legend Is Born ...
This supermodel began her career when she was only 15. While playing on the sand on the beach at San Ambrogio in Corsica, a photographer noticed her. He had contacts with the Madison Models Agency in Paris and he suggested they talk to her father.
Initially, Laetitia's father was doubtful about the modeling offer for his daughter, but after checking out their credentials, he approved the deal. Laetitia went to Paris a few weeks later for some test photos and her personal magnetism was captured on film.

She has modeled for the biggest and the best in the business, including Givenchy, Victoria's Secret, Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Pantene, L'Oreal, Yves Saint Laurent and Guess. Sports Illustrated featured her in a calendar and every major magazine has had her gorgeous face on their covers.
Laetitia published a collection of her favorite photos in a book simply titled: Laetitia Casta. She also tried acting and appeared in the French film The Blue Bicycle. Both her stints into the publishing world and the movie industry were met with mixed reviews. Her fans appreciated seeing more of this supermodel but critics were more conservative in their praise.
A Sexy French Film Star
She has since appeared in numerous French films and television productions with increasing success. She was also prominently featured in a music video for the Chris Isaak song, "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing. There was a censored and an uncensored version of the video with it ranking 28th on VH1's 50 Sexiest Video Moments.
She maintains apartments in New York City, London and Paris to accommodate her jet-setting lifestyle and to be available for photo opportunities. She is much in demand and has a professional personality that has earned her respect in this business.
Health And Fame Go Hand In Hand For Laetitia
Although she is involved in the fashion and beauty industry, which is often associated with drug and alcohol use, Laetitia has chosen not to smoke or drink. This undoubtedly has contributed to sustaining her beauty and maintaining her perfect figure.
She is also very conscious of the importance of getting enough rest. Laetitia doesn't keep late hours so she will always be ready for the next day's work before the cameras.
Laetitia is a professional as well as a sensational supermodel.
