Estella Warren was born to an elementary school principal mother and a used-car salesman father. Always the athlete, Estella moved to Toronto at the age of twelve to train with the national synchronized swimming team. After becoming the senior national champion at seventeen, Estella had the chance to move on to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics [She is a three-time Canadian national champion in synchronized swimming, and the solo bronze medalist at the 1995 Junior World Championships]. However, fate had other plans for the blonde bombshell when after participating in a high school fashion show, she got the urge to take up modeling as a full-time career. Before she knew it, she was strutting the catwalks in Paris and Italy, and striking poses for fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth. It didn't take long for her face to grace the covers of dozens of magazines, such as Marie Claire, Elle, GQ, Yahoo Internet Life, and the 2000 swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated.
      As with so many models, Estella decided to try her hand at acting. Turning her attention to this new pursuit, she quickly landed a small part in the film Perfume in 2001. Soon after she got audiences' attention and hearts fluttering when she starred opposite Sylvester Stallone in the action-packed racing flick Driven. This was followed by director Tim Burton's remake of Planet Of The Apes, playing the part of Daenna, a human warrior princess who helps Mark Walhberg's character defeat simian oppression.
      Hitting the #1 spot in Maxim magazine's "Hot 100 Babe List", and having numerous fansites dedicated to her beauty, is a sure sign that fans want to see a lot more of this sizzling ingenue now and in the future.
      Aside from dating such hotties as Kip Pardue and Josh Hartnett, Estella enjoys spending her free time horseback riding, playing the piano, singing, and needless to say, swimming.
