Veronica Webb

Biography: Acclaimed by innumerable publications for her ability to combine poise, glamour, formidable acting ability, and a commitment to social activism, powerhouse model-turned-actress Veronica Webb spent around a decade gracing the covers of such magazines as Ebony, Essence, and Vogue. She then made a dynamite transition into an acting career with two roles for Spike Lee -- one in his 1991 interracial romance Jungle Fever, and another with the 1992 epic blockbuster Malcolm X. As time rolled on, however, Webb spent more time modeling than tackling characterizations in features, save small roles in such films as For Love or Money (1992) and The Big Tease (1999). In 2007, Webb signed on to appear as the sidekick of "fashion counselor" Tim Gunn in the Bravo network's reality/makeover show Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (2007).
