Katie Price (Jordan).

Katie Price was born on May 22nd, 1978, and grew up in the seaside town of Brighton in Sussex, England. The decision to embark on a modeling career came after a friend suggested a session with a professional photographer. The pictures were sent to an agency in London and to her astonishment, she was invited to participate in a photo shoot.

During her foray into show business, Katie Price, a.k.a. Jordan, has proven once again that the right physical dimensions and an unabashed willingness to flaunt, tease and strip for the camera are all that's required to achieve fame and fortune. Following in the footsteps of other aspirant British girls determined not to let a lack of talent impede the way to stardom, Jordan rose to fame in 1996, after being featured on the infamous Page 3 in the London-based Sun newspaper. She has since become a staple of British tabloids, only now she makes headlines rather than simply posing next to them.

We could hold Katie Price in contempt for representing the worst of show business and celebrity. Instead we choose to reward her for not being ashamed of who she is: a young girl from a small town who dared to dream the impossible dream and take her clothes off in an attempt to launch a lucrative career in the modeling and recording industries. Bravo! She has displayed amazing resilience in the face of the ravenous English press, staving them off with guile and wit. Many a young glamour model would have caved in years ago.
