Petra Nemcova BiographyPetra Nemcova, is one of the most beautiful models of all time. She was found in her home country of Czech Republic by a modeling scout as a teenager, and the rest is history. nemcova has graced the cover of hundreds of magazines, done thousands of photo shoots, and advertised dozens of products. She did a number of modeling jobs before she got a chance to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Magazine in 2002 and then again in 2003. Since then, she has skyrocketed to modeling superstardom and has become one of the best known models in the world. She made her first American Television performance on the Late Late Show with Craig Kiborn on CBS before the 2003 SI Swimsuit Issue. (Kilborn predicted that Nemcova would make the 2003 swimsuit issue and was correct.) Nemcova stands at 5' 8" with brown hair and blue eyes and a gorgeous face and physique. Although, she has more fame then most people can ever imagine, those who know her best say that she is a very down to earth and normal person. She does not let all of the fame and fortune she has get to her head. In fact, she considers herself lucky to be alive. Nemcova was in South East Asia when the devastating Tsunami that claimed thousands of lives hit the area. Her vacation home on the beach was destroyed and she was forced to cling to a tree for almost eight hours through 50 mph winds, while waves crashed around her. At the time, she was vacationing with her boyfriend, Simon Atlee, a British Fashion photographer, on the Khao Lak beach. Unfortunately, Atlee has not been seen since the tsunami and he was most likely killed and washed out to sea.
