Fashion and Hollywood have a relationship that's not quite close, but cross paths enough to garner attention from each party. With the influence of models like Cara Delevingne<\/a>, Naomi Campbell and Suki Waterhouse<\/a> in show business, we decided there were a slew of other fashion models that have put their behind-the-camera skills to practice in more than just modeling<\/a>.<\/p>

From spicy television dramas to blockbuster films, these ladies are easy on the eyes and have a way with their words and sex appeal. Talk about multi-talented! Moguls like Tyra Banks and Kate Upton may be some of the most notable in our list, thanks to their branching out to even more than high fashion modeling and chick flicks, to becoming business owners and being featured in other commercial work such as\u00a0video games advertisements.<\/p>

Rifle through our gallery and get informed on 15 actresses you never knew were actually models (or vice versa).<\/p>
