Shalom Harlow: Click Here For Shalom's Filmography

It is the week of local model/actress biographies here at DVDwolf...or so it would seem at least. Recently I added Estella Warren's bio here who lived just north of us in Peterborough, but now we have someone even closer.

Shalom Harlow was born December 5, 1973 in Oshawa, Ontario (which is in Canada for the geographically impaired), which puts her near my high school years and locale...and believe me folks, we didn't have girls like Shalom walking through the halls, at least not in my recollection.

It was during high school that she became interested in modeling, more so when she was 'discovered' at a Cure concert in Toronto. Since then she has appeared in fashion shows for such top designers as Donna Karen, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior and Isaac Mizrahi. In fact, you can catch Shalom in the documentary Unzipped about Isaac Mizrahi's fashion show in 1994.

She made her film debut in Frank Oz's In & Out in 1997 as, what else? A fashion model. The nice thing though is she didn't mind mocking the industry or her own image as she played Matt Dillon's Twiggy like girlfriend.

Since then the roles have become bigger and more interesting...and also less model-like as she seems eager to prove that she is in the industry for the long haul. Although Head Over Heels would be an exception as she once again played the role of a fashion model.

In 2003 you'll be able to catch her opposite Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
