Childhood
Actress Kelly LeBrock was born in New York in 1960. Soon after, her parents moved to the affluent Kensington area in London. The star was named after the grandmother Mary Hellen Kelly, who had Irish roots. The father of the actress was French-Canadian. Kelly was raised with her brother Harold. In 2008, he died after a serious cancer.
Model
Kelly LeBrock was only fifteen years old when she was offered the first contract in the modeling business. She was spotted at a party and invited to shoot for British Airlines, which took place in the Seychelles. The beautiful girl immediately became a popular model of the 70s. After advertising Pantene shampoo, Kelly LeBrock became especially popular. At the age of 19, the model starred in a U-magazine spread.
Despite her career success, the actress does not really like to remember those times. During this period, an unhealthy lifestyle appeared in the biography of Kelly LeBrock, including the abuse of psychotropic substances.
Hollywood
Realizing that communicating with a former circle of friends can lead to sad consequences, Kelly LeBrock decided to leave for America. At that time, the actress was 24 years old. In Hollywood, the model met her future husband, Victor Dray. After a stormy romance, aspiring actors got married. The marriage lasted two years.
Debut
The first film by Kelly LeBrock was the comedy "Woman in Red." It was a remake of the 1975 French film "And Elephants Can Be Unfaithful." The producer of the picture was the first husband of the actress. LeBrock played the role of the young lover of the protagonist, whose image embodied Gene Wilder. The actress will forever remember the first meeting with a celebrity. When Wilder entered LeBrock’s house, she thought: “It can't be that Willy Wonka is visiting me!”
The most talked-about scene in the film was the episode "Marilyn Monroe," in which Kelly LeBrock stands above the ventilation hatch in a stunning red dress. This iconic scene helped become a novice actress prominent in Hollywood.
Another major role
In 1985, Kelly LeBrock starred in John Hughes' science fiction comedy Strange Science. She got the main role of Lisa, a supermodel created by two high school losers. Kelly did not immediately agree to this job, citing a vacation in France. The director tried on the role of several actresses, but realized that he could not do without LeBrock. Hughes managed to persuade the star to interrupt the French vacation.
Break
After two successful roles in the personal life of Kelly Lebrook, changes have occurred. In 1987, on the set of the movie "It's Hard to Kill," the actress met her second husband, Stephen Seagal. In the same year, the couple had a daughter, Annalisa. Three years later, the son of Dominic appeared. Three years later - the daughter of Arissa.
In 1994, LeBrock filed for divorce, citing too much difference in views between the spouses.
