Occupation: Former supermodel, Designer, former actress (movie, TV)
Ridiculously famous before, but mostly out of the public eye now
Clothing Level: Basically always in some sort of swimsuit in photos

Modeling Highlights

	Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Appearances: 13, Covers: 3 (1989, 1992, 1994) Comments: Kathy, unless I'm mistaken, has the most appearances in the famed issue of any model in history. She, however, declined their invitation to the reunion issue, which made things a little silly, because I have no idea what a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue reunion issue is without her.
	Kathy Ireland Swimsuit Calendar Years: Every year from 1994 to 1998, and possibly later years, too

Major Filmography

	National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, Character: Destiny Seen It? No Comments: Kathy's character is a parody of Rene Russo's from Lethal Weapon 3 in this parody of cop movies starring William Shatner, Tim Curry, Emilio Estevez, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jon Lovitz.
	Necessary Roughness, Character: Lucy Seen It? Yes, Recommend It? Yes, Looks Hot for Her? Yes, Clothing Level: Fully clothed to my recollection Comments: I saw this a long, long time ago so my memory's going to be pretty bad, but this is a football comedy where Scott Bakula has to play quarterback to an unusual college football team which can't use any scholarships. Kathy plays the kicker.
	Alien from L.A., Character: Wanda Seen It? No, Looks Hot for Her? Maybe, Clothing Level: Some bikini footage Comments: Kathy stars as a California girl who goes looking for her lost father and stumbles upon the city of Atlantis. If you need to know what genre of film we're talking about, this has been spoofed by Mystery Science Theater 3000.
	Journey to the Center of the Earth, Character: Wanda Seen It? No, Looks Hot for Her? No, Clothing Level: I don't know of any undress but it is set in Hawaii Comments: This is the sequel to Alien from L.A., just not so named due to contractual complications. Kathy's hair is way too short in this, so I wouldn't have even recognized her if I didn't know she'd be in it.
	Backfire!, Character: Jessica Seen It? No Comments: Kathy plays the female lead in this Backdraft parody.

Other Filmography Worth Mentioning

	A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives, Character: Dee Seen It? No Comments: Kathy plays one of the murder victim's many ex-wives, who are all models and all suspects, in this Perry Mason TV movie which is missing one thing: Perry Mason. The actor that played him had died, so the movie's detective is Paul Sorvino as Anthony Caruso.
	Side Out, Character: Marie Seen It? Part of it, Recommend It? Only for eye candy, Looks Hot for Her? No idea, Clothing Level: Swimsuits are a safe assumption Comments: This is a beach volleyball movie, and I don't remember Kathy's part in it, just a lot of ogling a young, bikini-clad Courtney Thorne-Smith.
	Mr. Destiny, Character: Gina Seen It? No Comments: I'm not exactly sure how Kathy's character fits into this, but the movie is a comedy about an alternate reality. The main character played by Jim Belushi thinks everything wrong with his life could have been fixed with one small thing in an old baseball game and gets to live his life as if it had gone his way.
	"Melrose Place", Character: Brittany Maddocks Seen It? Not her episodes, Recommend It? No Comments: Kathy had a four-episode stint on this notorious guilty pleasure of a show.

Writing:

	Powerful Inspirations: Eight Lessons That Will Change Your Life Comments: I guess you could consider this a self-help book, although I doubt it would suit the audience here as from what I understand, it's best appreciated by social conservative, Christian women and deals a lot with Kathy's faith and pro-life crusades.
	Fitness Magazine Comments: Kathy was (and for all I know, still is) a contributing editor for this, which isn't surprising as she's released a variety of workout videos including Kathy Ireland's Total Fitness.

Other Comments: If you ever hear that garbage that uber-hot models and actresses always spew about being the ugly ducklings growing up, don't believe it in Kathy's case as sources tell me she was known all around as "The Body." Like all the hottest of models, Kathy is a product of the prestigious Elite model search. After she hit the age when people decide you have to drop the "super" before "model," I'd still see her all the time modeling her designs (thankfully, often lingerie) in K-Mart catalogs and looking better than all the current supermodels. These days she is the C.E.O. of Kathy Ireland Worldwide which consists of many types of products. She is also married with two children, so don't get your hopes up.
