Karolina Kurkova was one of the top fashion models of the 1990s, often gracing the cover of Vogue and also working for lingerie brand Victoria's Secret.
The 40-year-old dynamo talked to Dailymail.com about the highs and lows of her career which included starting work at age 15, the awkwardness of posing in lingerie at age 16, realizing at age 24 she had gained 30lbs from a thyroid disease called Hashimoto's, to becoming a family woman.

'It was overwhelming for me at first to try to look sexy,' she said'I was also told my nose was too pointy and my legs were too long, but Anna Wintour was the one who said I is going to be a supermodel. She had faith in me and I love her for that,' said Karolina.
The star was on many magazine covers.

'I was under a lot of stress. I had already been modeling for almost 10 years. I didn't have time to self reflect. I just didn't know that I looked bad,' she said.'I was eating healthy and exercising so I went to a doctor and I was told I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid problem and stress triggers. Working under pressure makes it worse. I had gained 30lbs.'
