Julie Ege
Julie Ege, originally from Norway, began her modeling career at the young age of only 15 before going on to win the Miss Norway competition at the age of 18. After winning the competition, Julie moved to England to work as an Au Pair. This gave her the chance to improve her English before she moved to Los Angeles to become an actress. Unlike many, she was not seeking fame, but instead became an actress as a personal challenge.

Sophia Loren
Sophia Loren is somewhat unique when it comes to Italian actresses of the classic era. At the time, most actresses began their careers as models before being hired by a studio. This was especially true in Italy, where an actress skipping modeling or beauty competitions was unheard-of. This did not stop Sophia, who began her acting career at the age of only 14. She appeared in several prominent films, including A Countess from Hong Kong.
