Kenya Moore
Where you’ve seen her: Beginning with cover spots on such magazines as
Glamour,
Seventeen,
Ebony and
Essence, this Detroit-born beauty went on to become only the second African-American woman to win the Miss USA crown at age 19; she brought her smoldering presence to TV with roles on
The Parent ’Hood and
In The House (playing LL Cool J’s love interest — think he was in on the casting?) and even got men to sit through a chick flick with her appearance in
Waiting to Exhale; also appeared as lead role in the independent erotic thriller
Trois.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t: “[I gave up modeling because] I grew breasts. I had an ass. They didn’t want that on the runway!”
Shampoo you: Kenya, like Kirstie Alley, Daisey Fuentes, and Liv Tyler, was a former Pantene girl.
December 1999 (#24)
