To make her mark in the modeling and fashion industry, Lisa Gleave knew she had to travel to the US. In 2000, she decided to take that risk in exchange for better opportunities. She packed her bags and left Australia, and her first break came when she was hired as a model for the game show, The Price Is Right.
She was so gorgeous, in her own unique way, she stood out from among Bob Parker’s panoply of models. From here, she went on to the rival show, Deal or No Deal, as a briefcase model. One opportunity led to another and she eventually landed a handful of roles in minor films and TV programs. Her career then really took off as she entered the world of modeling for men’s magazines.
Gina Lee Nolin
Gena Lee Nolin would embark on her career in Hollywood from an unusual platform. By becoming a member of Barker’s Beauties on the popular game show The Price Is Right, Nolin’s exposure would lead to something infinitely more promising. But none of it would have been possible without her first game show modelling role, in which she showcased the prizes that were to be given away.
Soon afterwards, she snagged a role in the soap opera, The Young and the Restless, before taking a starring role in the Baywatch series. Then, she landed a lead role in the film Sheena. All thanks to The Price Is Right and the kick-start it gave to her to fame.
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen is an American model and author. She was first discovered by a photographer while working in a surf shop in California. Her family had moved often back in the day, and before she appeared in the likes of Sports Illustrated magazine, she took a variety of gigs that weren’t quite so glamorous.
Teigen used to work as a substitute for the game show, Deal or No Deal. She was a briefcase girl like Meghan Markle, beautiful and sexy. She also made guest appearances for The Price Is Right as her notoriety grew. Chrissy Teigen has now cemented her celebrity and is happily married to singer, John Legend.
Farrah Fawcett
At the peak of her career, everything Farrah Fawcett touched turned to gold. Everybody seemed to love everything about her. She had the looks, and the talent. Men were in love with her. Her fans liked nothing more than listening to her lyrical Texas twang. She was ranked among the 50 greatest TV stars of all-time.
Fawcett also appeared as a guest on the popular game show, The Dating Game. She was a promising up-and-comer back then. We can only imagine how hard the bachelors must have worked for the opportunity to be by her side.
Klimaszewski Twins
The management of the game show, Let’s Make a Deal, knew that they had a golden opportunity in front of them when Diane and Elaine Klimaszewski showed up. They didn’t waste time signing up the Polish identical twins as the host’s curvaceous assistants. They turned out to be a massive distraction to contestants and the game show audience alike.
The twins were one of a kind… or should we say two? They became famous, partly thanks to their regular game show exposure. The Klimaszewski twins went on to dabble in acting and wrestling; however, it was the “Coors Light Twins” ad that made them truly famous.
