Marisa Miller

Supermodel Marisa Miller appeared on the cover of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Her appearances in several swimsuit issues and as a Victoria's Secret angel have earned her wide recognition on the worldwide fashion modeling circuit. On May 16, 2008 she was named as Maxim's sexiest woman, topping the 2008 Hot 100. According to Maxim, "Not since Cindy Crawford ruled the catwalk has a pinup born and bred on U.S. soil so thoroughly captured the imagination of the American male."

Discovered at the age of 16, Miller began modeling in Italy and made her magazine debut in Perfect 10 at the age of 19. After being noticed by Peruvian photographer Mario Testino, she began appearing in Victoria's Secret catalogues and made her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue appearance in 2002. She has appeared in every issue since.

Marisa Bertetta became Marisa Miller after marrying Los Angeles lifeguard Jim Miller in 2000. Though they divorced a few years later, Miller kept her ex-husband's name. Since 2006, she has been married to producer Griffin Guess.

One of Miller's most famous photographs is from the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, featuring Miller laying on the beach wearing nothing but an iPod. The enigmatic photo was taken in Jamaica by Raphael Mazzucco, and has become one of the swimsuit issue's most notorious images.
