A Midwestern gal from Joliet, Illinois who ran away from home at 15 to become a model and eventually landed in the arms of Christopher Knight, Adrianne Curry was born on August 6, 1982. Fame came quickly to Adrianne when she was crowned the first winner of Tyra Banks’ “America’s Next Top Model.” Not only did the exposure guarantee Adrianne a modeling career, but it soon was the catalyst for establishing herself as a dominant force in reality TV.
Adrianne’s rise was nothing short of meteoric. By 2005, she was one of the Maxim Hot 100, and a year later, she graced the cover of Playboy. Adrienne posed for Hugh again two years later, and has since appeared on New York runways for numerous lines, worked in Los Angeles on shoots for many magazines and, at the same time, was beginning her climb to the top of the reality TV hierarchy.
It began with the fourth season of VH1’s “The Surreal Life” in 2005 where Adrianne lived with Da Brat, Chyna Doll, Marcus Schenkenberg, Verne Troyer, Jane Wiedlin, and then 48-year-old Christopher Knight – Peter Brady from “The Brady Bunch” – which culminated in Knight and Adrianne becoming romantically involved and spawning the VH1 spin-off “My Fair Brady.” The reality show chronicled the courtship, engagement, and wedding of the couple, which occurred in Joliet, Illinois in May 2006.
Adrianne has detailed her rough childhood and upbringing at length over the years, but has managed to carve a unique name for herself in pop culture, utilizing her beauty and the current pop trends to find a fan base that is curious to see where her next adventure takes her. It might be a baby with husband Knight, or it might be a new reality show. In any event, we are sure to hear of Adrianne Curry’s escapades for a long time.

On her wedding dress:
“I wanted to go as Gothic as I could and as traditional as I could without ruffling anyone’s feathers.”
