She’s tall, gorgeous and looks like an Italian Goddess but supermodel Megan Gale was born in Perth, Australia. She is of Italian descent, however, and it was her inherited stunning looks that made the Italian sit up and take notice when her Vodafone commercial was aired in that country in 1999.

Megan was jetted to Italy for a promotional tour and her career as an Italian supermodel was launched. She recently told an Australian interviewer that she still cannot believe her meteoric rise to modeling fame.
At 5’10”, with lustrous dark hair and green eyes, Megan has the kind of curvy frame that still makes Italian hearts beat faster – but she also has the undeniable grace and slenderness of a top fashion model, with the height to carry her stunning proportions down the runways of the world in style.

Megan first entered the world of modeling in 1994, when she won an Australia-wide competition to find new faces. Five years later the Vodafone commercial made her a star in Italy.

As she later told the media, she arrived not knowing the language or the country, but her fame had arrived before her – “It was a lot to deal with,” she said.

Her meteoric rise to fame in Italy was matched by growing excitement about the stunning young model back home. Now Megan divides her time between Italy and Australia, enjoying the perks of fame, such as the chance to be a celebrity driver in the 2003 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

But while she continues to grace the catwalk in clothes by famous Italian designers, she has also shown the compassionate side of her nature by launching a project to save abandoned dogs in Italy. With the support of the Mayor of Milan, Megan has appeared on TV and in print to draw attention to the plight of dogs abandoned to starve or die of thirst. Previously she was involved with a campaign to reduce graffiti in Milan.
Megan’s kindness as well as her beauty has endeared her to a broad spectrum of the community, both in Australia and Italy. Her ease in front of crowds and her fluency in the Italian language have ensured her hosting roles such as the San Remo music festival, and parts in Italian movies.

Will the model become a movie star? Only time will tell. She has signed a three movie deal with the De Laurentis Company, and debuted in Vacanze di Natale, playing herself. She starred with Cindy Crawford in Bodyguards, and played the lead in Stregati Dalla Luna. In 2004 she signed to join the cast of the US movie Stealth, filmed in Sydney.
Whatever direction Megan decides to take in the future, there seems little doubt that her charm and versatility will again take her to the top.
