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 asAdrianne 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 Currymade 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"!
