Growing up in Nelson County, Virginia, Leslie Louise Bibb never felt like she fit in. "I felt like the big geek in high school," she recalls. Luckily, that changed in 1990 when she won a nationwide modeling search conducted by The Oprah Winfrey Show. Within a matter of months Leslie signed a contract with Elite -- the same modeling agency that represents Cindy Crawford and Gisele Bundchen -- and she was whisked off to modeling assignments as far away as Japan.
Several years and dozens of modeling gigs later, Leslie made the transition into television with guest-starring roles in series like Pacific Blue, Home Improvement, Just Shoot Me, Early Edition, and Fired Up. Not surprisingly, Hollywood soon came calling and “Lulu,” as she’s known to friends, made her big-screen debut in 1997’s Private Parts, starring Howard Stern. She has since appeared in The Skulls (2000), See Spot Run (2001), and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), while also enjoying recurring roles in Popular, ER and Crossing Jordan.
