Acting Appreciation
During my teenage years, I stumbled upon images of the Canadian model Shalom Harlow. What caught my attention was not just her Canadian citizenship, which I found pretty cool at the time, but also her impressive height of 5'11". It struck me as amusing since I'm quite short and nowhere near that stature.
Shalom Harlow, born on December 5, 1973, in Oshawa, Ontario, developed a passion for ballet, tap dancing, and jazz during her upbringing. At the age of 17, she was discovered at a Cure concert in Toronto, marking the beginning of her journey into the world of modeling. Her career blossomed, encompassing magazine covers, runway shows, and films.
In contrast to the prevailing image of supermodels during that era, Shalom Harlow was perceived as more relatable. Fashion journalist Tim Blanks aptly described her as "made for couture," earning her favor with prestigious brands like Chanel and Dior.
In 1996, Shalom and her longtime friend, model Amber Valletta, cohosted MTV's House of Style. This venture marked a transition from a successful modeling career to the realm of film. Shalom made her film debut in the 1997 Frank Oz comedy "In & Out" and went on to appear in movies such as "Head over Heels" (2001), "Happy Here and Now" (2002), "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" (2003), and "Game 6" (2005).
