Adrianne Curry was born and raised in Joliet, a small town in Illinois, not far from Chicago. Growing up, Adrianne Curry was the type of person who was always ready to get involved-active in sports, an advocate for animals, and a deep desire to make a difference in the world.
Adrianne Curry dreamed of being a model since the age of 12. Adrianne Curry's big break came on an ordinary day: Adrianne Curry was working as a waitress in her home town, saving for college, when Adrianne Curry saw a TV commercial announcing a casting call for "America's Next Top Model", a television competition hosted and produced by supermodel Tyra Banks.
Following her gut as Adrianne Curry always does, Adrianne Curry decided to go for it and submit an audition tape. Worried that the tape would not arrive by the deadline, Adrianne Curry made the cut and later went on to beat nearly 32,000 hopefuls to win the contest and be crowned the first "America's Next Top Model"! Adrianne Curry walked away from the show an instant celebrity and immediately landed modeling jobs for the likes of Macy's and Merit Diamonds: Sirena Collection, and has appeared in numerous high-fashion magazines and TV commercials.
In late 2004, Adrianne Curry got a chance to return to the small screen, as she signed on to co-star in the hit reality series "Surreal Life" on VH1. Alongside cast-mates Christopher Knight, Marcus Schenkenberg, Joanie "Chyna Doll" Laurer, Verne Troyer, Jane Wiedlin and Da Brat, the show took audiences by storm, breaking network ratings as it won the hearts of the American audience.
