Models In Movies: From The Catwalk To The Silver Screen (PHOTOS)

We were stoked to learn last week that Russian model Sasha Pivovarova will be making her acting debut alongside Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried in "In Time," out October 28. But the wide-eyed stunner isn't the first runway strutter to test her luck on the big screen.

Among our fave fashion-to-film transitions are Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's role in "Transformers 3" and subsequent red carpet turns, which have solidified her as a style star and fine actress, and the fire-haired Lily Cole who acted with Heath Ledger in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," his last film before his untimely death.

What other models have delved into acting? Take a look below and tell us whose resume is most impressive.

Check out the trailer for "In Time" below and catch a glimpse of Sasha around the 2:30 mark.

Her Right Eye in the picture has a white reflective pupil...I am pretty sure it that keeps happening it is sign of Retinal Cancer...she should have her eyes checked...

Ah, thanks for the note, Mr. Happiness. I'm sure your good with the interpretation of dreams as well. Wasn't Freud your illegitimate father?

This woman is only one of millions of great looking women. There is no such thing as the best looking or most beautiful. Millions look wonderful.

For me it was always Christie Brinkley, the hot girl in the hot car in National Lampoon's "Vacation" Almost 30 years later and nobody is/was as hot as she was in that movie....

No kidding. She had a serious effect on my adolescence! :)

I never considered her more than just "pretty", but she sure beats Gisele Bundchen !! Now lets see if she can act.

I have seen her being interviewed and she came across as being rather vacuous.

Personally, I think she somewhat has a horse-face, not very attractive on a woman.

I wouldn't say she has a horse-face, but if she was dating me she would feel like she's been with a HORSE!

I am always a bit suspicious of people like you who brag. But maybe you were just kidding.

Anyone notice her right eye? Doesn't that signal some kind of disease like glaucoma or something similar?

[shastrand]

YES! I was actually going to comment on that too. I remember reading about tumors being diagnosed in children through pictures in a Parent magazine once. The sign was "red eye" or a glare in only one eye in a picture.

Her eye??? Uhmmm...yeah, yeah, I noticed. Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed. Really.

i'll eat it raw

lol You may rethink that if you saw it raw. How do you think women like this get to where they are. I'm sure you've seen many beautiful everyday women that refuse the modeling biz, the reason why? In order to get there, you have to let hundreds of rich old farts do the same thing you say you'll do.
Not saying that all women "raw" their way to the top but there is a "glass ceiling" for those who refuse to go the degenerate route. Ask the very stunning mega beautiful Vanessa Williams, she will be the first to admit that her refusal to go even partially nude greatly effected her acting and modeling career. Now THAT'S something I'd...wait! Damn! I'm married. I didn't mean it Honey! I swear!

Ms. Williiams refused to do nude screens, wow why did she lose that crown,. for lez pictures, way to take a stand about 10 minutes to late

Never heard of this lady before but she's hotter than a firecracker!

[Highball]

She's a SI Swimsuit Edition cover girl, a model, an actress now I guess, and Andy Roddick's wife.

[redwingirish]

Andy ROD-DICK is a lucky man (who ever he is)!

Roise was better in Transformers 3, than Fox. My pet-peeve was in the end while the battle is going on in downtown Chicago she never breaks a heel yet is running from the Sears Tower all the way to State and Lake area to what I think was the Wabash bridge, totaled up that's over a mile of running.

I admit a devotion to the Resident Evil saga and I think Mila Jovovich is excellent! Loved her in the Fifth Element too.

[Fudgefase]

01:33 PM on 08/03/2011

Yes, you'd really have thought that Milla and Cherlize would def be on the list. Rebecca too.
Rosie H-W was absolutely dreadful in TF3 and 'red carpet turns' do not a wonderful actress make....

[Highball]

The Resident Evil movies are AWESOME fun when you're just sitting around, a few drinks in hand, and want to watch some mostly mindless fun!

I hate to admit it, but I've actually seen them all in the theatre. LOL

Hollywood Movies these days are pretty much built on looks and explosions...and don't forget those stupid special effects.
