Who is Elizabeth Hurley?

Elizabeth Hurley was born June 10th, 1965 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. She’s a fashion model and actress whose highly public, long term relationship with fellow actor Hugh Grant offered many wonderful moments—like their appearance on the red carpet when she emerged in a Versace dress with giant safety pins barely holding it together making her a fashion press darling for years to come. Then there was the disgrace when Grants indiscretion with lady-of-the-evening Divine Brown ultimately led to the end of their thirteen year affair. Hurley’s career, however, has only risen higher with each step. Her relationship with cosmetics colossus Estee Lauder began in 1995 when she became their main spokesmodel and helped launched their highly lucrative endeavour, the perfume Pleasures. This long term, 13 year relationship between the celebrity and cosmetic giant is still going strong as Hurley’s contract was just renewed in 2007. As an actress her models tall, gorgeous figure, flawless bone structure, stunning blue eyes and dark, voluminous hair have made her the object of lust in the Austin Powers movies (1997, 1999), as well as a tempting devil in Bedazzled (2000). Hurley married Indian businessman Arun Nayar in 2007 and has one child from a previous relationship.
