Astrid Munoz was born in 1974 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She worked as a model. She had a very strict upbringing in San Juan. When she was fourteen, she was offered the opportunity to model in Spain, but her mother did not allow it. So when she was nineteen, in 1993, Astrid went to Miami, met a modelling agent who suggested she go to Paris, and she took off without speaking to her parents about it. Astrid was one of the first Latino women to break through in Paris. After working through Europe, appearing in Top Model and Elle and working for Ralph Lauren and Christian Dior, Astrid moved to New York and continued her high profile career. In 1998, she got married in Morocco, which was televised on E! Entertainment in 2005. That same year, Astrid moved back to Paris and appeared in Vogue, Hola, Town and Country, and ES. Astrid is now divorced, and works for IMG Models in New York and Paris. The 2006 June issue of Hola de Espana listed Astrid in their 100 Most Beautiful Women in the World list. It’s a far cry from her strict upbringing and her parents that just wouldn’t say yes, don’t you think?
