About
Elizabeth Hurley
|
|
Considered to be one of the world's
most famous arm ornaments, model, and sometimes-actress, Elizabeth Hurley
first became the topic of gossip sheets when she appeared on the arm of
boyfriend Hugh Grant at the premiere for his Four Weddings and a Funeral in
1994. Scantily clad in a Versace gown held up by safety pins, audacity, and
little else, Hurley was soon attracting as much press coverage as Grant, and
a career as one of the most photographed women of the 1990s was born.
When we look at Elizabeth Hurley, "beautiful," "intelligent" and "warm" are
not the first words that come to mind. It's more like "sassy," "sexy" and
"delicious." She has the appeal and beauty of a genuine sex symbol. And
although she's a good actress, part of the reason we rush to see her movies
is to check her out in a bunch of tight, slinky outfits; we care little for
the plots.

Elizabeth Hurley Birthday
|
Born
on June 10, 1965, in Hampshire, England, Elizabeth Hurley is the daughter of
an army officer and an elementary schoolteacher mother. While growing up in
Basingstoke, England, Hurley dreamed of becoming a dancer, which prompted
her to attend a boarding school that specialized in ballet at the age of 12.
Her attendance at the boarding school was short-lived, and Hurley then went
through a different phase: the English punk stage. Although it must be hard
to imagine the now glamorous Hurley with pink hair and a nose ring, she was
a victim of early '80s punk fashion, since this was the thing to do at that
time and place. |
Elizabeth Hurley as Actress |
|
The aspiring actress found work in a number of forgettable films and TV
miniseries, and it was while working on a film set that she met fellow actor
Hugh Grant. Although she first became recognizable due to activities
associated with Grant's onscreen work, it was her boyfriend's dubious
offscreen exploits that really put Hurley in the spotlight. Thanks to
Grant's notorious dalliance with a prostitute by the name of Divine Brown,
Hurley was thrust into the public eye with little room to hide. Further
complicating the situation was her work as the spokesmodel for Estee Lauder
at the time, a position that both heightened her fame and compounded the
problems associated with Grant's infamous behavior.
After the ruckus surrounding the Brown scandal died down, Hurley began
earning more recognition for her work in Hollywood, both as a producer (she
and Grant founded the production company Simian Films in 1994) and an
actress. Perhaps her most famous role to date has been as Vanessa
Kensington, sidekick and eventual paramour of Mike Myers in Austin Powers:
International Man of Mystery (1997). She reprised the role for the film's
1999 sequel, although her character was killed off only minutes into the
movie. Hurley has also appeared in such films as Permanent Midnight (1998),
in which she played the wife of a heroin addict; and EdTV (1999), which
featured her as a model who provides heady temptation for the film's titular
protagonist (Matthew McConaughey). Hurley would play a temptress of a
different sort -- a busty, female version of Satan -- in 2000's Bedazzled
with Brendan Fraser. In 2001, Hurley took part in the four part documentary
The Human Face, which was narrated by fellow Briton John Cleese, and later
starred as a beautiful doctor in Double Whammy with Steve Buscemi and Dennis
Leary. Hurley met up with Leary once again for Dawg, the follow-up to Double
Whammy (2002). Unfortunately for Hurley, most of the notoriety the young
actress gained during 2002 was, once again, of the tabloid variety -- a
heated paternity battle with former boyfriend Steve Bing made more headlines
than Dawg or Serving Sara. In 2004, Hurley will star alongside Jermey Sisto
in Duncan Roy's 2000 thriller Method.

Elizabeth Hurley is breaking the law. The laws of physics! Elizabeth
Hurley's breasts are kicking gravity's ass, and only seem to get better
and better as time goes by.
Maybe Elizabeth Hurley really is a Femme Bot, because I can't see any
other explanation for her amazing appearance. In fact, if you look
closely, you can see some kind of box-type protrusion covering her
nipples. Covering her nipples, or coming out of her nipples!? Dum Dum
Dum!!!
So maybe Elizabeth Hurley is a robot. With robotic breasts, and robotic
nipples. Tell you the truth, I'm happy either way, because that would be
the Best. Sex Robot. Ever.

Elizabeth Hurely, her Breasts, and a Pig |
Well,
this is definitely unusual. Normally, I would expect to see Elizabeth
Hurley sitting all dressed up at a fashion show, or an awards dinner,
but at a pig show? But I guess that's what her career is coming to. At
least her breasts look as good as ever in that dress.
Actually, Hurley was on hand at the Hatfield House Country Show in
Hertfordshire, England to present the award for Pig Handler of the year |

Oh
boo-freakin'-hoo for Elizabeth Hurley! What's the biggest problem in her
life? She has too many fashion designer friends, and she wouldn't know who
to ask to design her wedding dress, reports UK Vogue. Cry me a river...
"If I had a dress designed for me I'd be in absolute agony," the actress,
model and swimwear designer told the Evening Standard. "I wouldn't know who
to go to. I have so many friends in the fashion business, and I work with so
many fabulous people I'd be in absolute hell. I might just get married in an
Elizabeth Hurley Beach kaftan."
Hey, nice plug for your swimwear line, there, Liz. When people complain
about these kinds of "problems," it makes me angry. Still, if a kaftan
is anything like the swimsuits she's wearing in the pictures... |
