Success in life is made up of various components. For some people, material well-being comes first, for others - popularity, for others - a career. Jerry Hall dreamed of a happy family.
Difficult childhood
To make a career in the modeling business, a girl needs to have suitable external data. In addition to this, it is very important to have persistence and analytical skills. The future super-model Jerry Hall was born on July 2, 1956 in a large family. Parents at that time lived in the tiny town of Gonzales, Texas. The girl was one of five daughters. The father, who went through the war and survived many trials, worked as a driver of a heavy-duty vehicle. The mother was engaged in the home and the upbringing of the girls.
In this context, it is important to note that the head of the family abused alcohol and regularly caused domestic scandals. The daughters were depressed by this atmosphere. Jerry from a young age loved to look at glossy magazines, on the pages of which were placed photographs of beautiful and successful people. The girl grew up as a calm child and did not cause any special problems for her parents. By the age of sixteen, she “grew up” in height up to 183 cm. Naturally, teenagers and older guys began to show her attention.
To protect herself from obsessive fans, Jerry began training in the sports section of kicking. Yes, this is not an Olympic sport, but the girl pursued completely different goals. At one of the state championship tournaments, she won first place. People in the area began to respect her. After receiving secondary education and weighing the advice of her friends, Hall decided to become a model. Without postponing the matter indefinitely, she went to Dallas and came to the casting in one of the leading agencies. Local "cowboys" without much enthusiasm released her on the podium. However, they warned that it does not fit into local standards. She should move to Europe.
When recognized experts express their opinion, it is simply stupid to ignore their assessment. Since there were no real prospects in his native places, Jerry packed the most necessary things into a backpack and bought a plane ticket to Paris. Then she moved to the famous Saint-Tropez, and began to visit the local beach. Already on the first day, a girl of model appearance in a pink swimsuit was invited to participate in the casting. Hall's biography notes that this moment is considered the debut of her successful career.
Life on the catwalk
According to active participants in the modeling business, to work as a fashion model, you need to have strong nerves and good health. Preparing to go to the podium or the next photo session takes much more time than the main procedure. Jerry Hall knew the inside of her profession quite well. Thanks to this knowledge, she became a famous figure on the podium within three years. It is very important to impress a reputable photographer who works with glossy magazines and leading modeling agencies.
Jerry knew how to present herself. Long-term collaboration with the venerable photo artist Helmut Newton brought her worthy results. This photographer's work has been eagerly published by leading fashion publications. Photos of the model have regularly appeared on the covers of Elle, Cosmopolitan, Vogue magazines for a long period of time. During this period, Jerry regularly attended cult parties and nightclubs. At events of this kind, not only fleeting connections were struck, but long-term relationships were also formed.
On stage and in the cinema
The logical development of a successful “work activity” on the podium was invitations to various projects on television and in films. The successful model Jerry Hall was well aware that the active phase in the modeling profession lasts a few years. Given this circumstance, she accepted suitable proposals. In 2005, the television launched a pilot version of the show "Kept" for single men. Jerry acted as the host of the competition. Participants underwent all kinds of tests and trials. The winner received a prize - a date with the host in a decent restaurant.
Hall has demonstrated her abilities on the stage as well. She starred in The Bus Stop at the West End Theater. The audience warmly greeted the actress in the production of "Collette", where Jerry reincarnated as the mistress of a young fashion model. In the movies, she also did well. Critics have counted more than twenty projects in which Hall took part. The most successful were the pictures "Princess Karabou", "Married with Children", "Batman".
Personal life plots
Hungry for spicy news, the townsfolk watched closely the personal life of Jerry Hall. At the beginning of her career, the young and attractive model had fleeting romances. But brought up in strict traditions, the girl strove to create a strong and long-term marriage relationship. For the first time, the model tried to create a family union with the popular singer and composer Brian Ferry. It came to an engagement, but feelings cooled down, and the wedding did not take place.
In May 1977, Jerry met legendary Rolling Stones leader Mick Jagger. After a short "bouquet-candy" period, they began to live together. For 23 years of living together, the husband and wife had three daughters and a son. It is interesting to note that they legalized their relationship in 1990. Nine years after this event, the couple separated. In 2016, Hall married billionaire Rupert Murdoch.
