Today CNN announced that
Modern Family star
Sophia Vergara is the highest paid actress on
television, with estimated earnings of $19
million between May 2011 and May 2012. Just
to put this in perspective, in 2006 Sophia was
romping around as a sexy stewardess in
Soul Plane, doing the
raunchiest of jokes, largely
centered on her sexuality.
She’s been in exclusive pictorials for Maxim,
Stuff and FHM magazine at least a half dozen
times. In short, Sophia used to be a bikini
model (the more mainstream equivalent of an
urban model).
I realize there are some difference between the
mainstream opportunities for a Eurocentric sex kitten
and a black one, but still… This would indicated the
theory that taking sexy photos will kill any chance
at a valid Hollywood career is grossly flawed. As
further, support just look at who came in number 2 on
Forbes list of highest paid TV actresses: none other
than the interracial sex tape queen herself, Kim
Kardashian, who took in $18 million in that same
period.
The fact is, glamour modeling can be used as a
launching pad to a bigger career, you just have to
have some talent beyond looking good.
