Here is a brief glimpse into the short Modeling Career that Jorja Fox
had as a young girl starting out in the world & some of the modeling she has done since.
it was in Florida that Fox met her destiny, winning by a fluke, she says, a modeling contest she entered as a joke. "I was very, very, very shocked to win," she says. "I was a fish out of water because I wasn't a classic beauty. In Florida, beauty was all about being blond and tan. I'm a tall, gangly, dark-haired Irish girl. I just didn't fit the bill." But her beauty was recognized nevertheless, and at 15 she won the opportunity to live in New York City and give modeling a try. After a summer spent living with another teenage model and a chaperone, Fox decided there was no going back. She opted to stay in New York, finish high school and pursue modeling.
Her career focused primarily on print media--magazines in particular. "I'm too short for runway work," she says. "I only worked the runway when someone called in sick." Another impediment to her success on the catwalk? The once-barefoot girl "could barely walk in heels." From New York she went to Europe where, she says, she felt "fearless." Those years of modeling and traveling throughout Europe with peers were "fantastic, a wilder dream than I ever could have imagined," she says. After a time, however, Fox decided that modeling had its limitations. Returning to New York at 18, she turned her attention to acting, focusing on studying and auditioning. She adopted an eclectic approach to supporting herself: working at a kennel, as a temp and even as a coat checker in a downtown nightclub.

Winning a model search contest at a local mall at age 16, Jorja Fox spent the following couple of years modeling both nationally and internationally. When she was modeling in New York City in the late 1980s, she was once roommates with Madonna's sister, Paula Ciccone. “My life changed when, ironically, I won a modeling contest at the local shopping plaza. I was the most surprised at my win. I was laughed at when my picture appeared in the paper. At school the next day the other kids were asking, ‘what kind of contest was that, surely there’s a mistake?’” Jorja Fox. At age 18, Jorja stopped modeling and returned to her birthplace of New York to pursue an acting career.

At lot of these more recent model poses
show she could still give the modeling industry a run for it's money!
Her career began with modeling. At 17, Fox and a fellow model headed for Italy. Their agency in New York City sent them over, telling them their books were ready and they would be working right away. Instead, they arrived in Italy and were told their books were awful and they would have to start over or they would never find work. Fox only brought $600 with her and her friend only had $250. They spent eight or nine days in a pensione before getting tossed out onto the street. Homeless in Milan at 17.
