NO FILTER: The Good, the Bad, and
the Beautiful
Meet writer and model Paulina
Porizkova, who will talk about her amazing career, the complexities of
womanhood at every age, and her intimate, introspective, and enlightening essay
collection, No Filter: The Good, the Bad
and the Beautiful. This event includes audience Q&A and book signings.
Born in Cold War Czechoslovakia, Porizkova’s first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover
was in 1984. As the face of Estée Lauder in 1989, she was one of the
highest-paid models in the world, and when she was nineteen, she fell in love
with The Cars front man Ric Ocasek. The decades to come would bring marriage,
motherhood, a budding writing career; and later sadness, loneliness, and
eventually divorce. Following her ex-husband’s death—and the revelation of a
deep betrayal—Paulina stunned fans with her fierce vulnerability and disarming
honesty as she let the whole world share in her experience of being a woman who
must start over.
Porizkova has starred in 16 movies and a slew of TV shows as
an actress, and she has served as part of the judging panel on Cycle 10 of America’s Next Top Model. Her debut
novel, A Model Summer, was published
in 2007. This is her nonfiction debut.
