Garcelle Beauvais

Where you’ve seen her:
On the short-lived series Models Inc., sharing the screen with Will Smith in Wild Wild West, and as sexy secretary Fancy Munroe on The Jamie Foxx Show.

But you still play doctor, right?
“I didn’t really give up modeling; I just gravitated toward acting because I wanted to get into something that would be more long-term and challenging. People always go, ‘Oh, God, another model trying to become an actress.’ But what do you expect—that I would go to medical school? It’s a natural progression.”

How to win her over:
“If there’s music, candles, and flowers—you know, the whole package—that’ll do it. That’s a sure bet with me,”

Can you send a few to us?
“If I ever actually do nudity in a movie, though, it will be strictly for me: to immortalize my body because, hey, it ain’t going to be like this forever. For now a few Polaroids will do just fine.”
