Episode 127: Paulina Porizkova (Re-Release)
Supermodels are having a moment. There’s a Netflix series about the famous ones of the 1990s. Paulina Porizkova was a supermodel in the 80s and she has one of those rags to riches stories which she talked with me about on “Now What?” in December 2022. That conversation has just been honored with a Clarion award for Best Podcast given by the Association of Women in Communications. I wanted you to have the opportunity to listen to that episode again. Life has not always been star turns for Paulina who was born in a poor family in Eastern Europe. She began modeling at the age of 15 in Paris. When she was 19, she met her future husband Ric Ocasek, lead singer of the Cars. Paulina talks honestly about Ocasek’s death and what it takes to reinvent yourself when you’re in your 50s.
