Paulina Poriskova Talks 'Top Model'

Paulina Porizkova is returning as one of the judges on America's Next Top Model, which is Wednesdays at 8pm on the CW.

Standing at 5' 11", Porizkova began her modeling career by chance when her friend submitted his photos of Porizkova to a modeling agency. She was discovered by her headshots and was immediately flown from Sweden to France, where she rose to the top of the modeling at the age of 15. She later became the face of Estee Lauder from 1988 to 1995.

Recently, Porizkova participated in ABC's Dancing With The Stars. She published the children's book in September 1992, The Adventures of Ralphie the Roach, and last year published The New York Times editor's choice novel A Model Summer.
