Caroline Bossi originally hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where
she began her entertainment industry career as a young child. Cue
dramatic voice over: It was the early 70s, grade school auditorium,
ballet troupe, Chim Chim Cheree from Mary Poppins; she knew there was
no turning back.
After more than 8 years studying ballet, a 5 inch growth spurt ended
her hopes of becoming a professional ballerina. Her nearly 6' height
may have been bad for the ballet industry, but it was perfect for the
modeling world. She found an agent in Philadelphia & the adventure
began. Assignments in Europe & New York would follow and she would make
New York her home base for a while. It was a 2-week vacation to Los
Angeles that would change her career.
Her first audition in L.A. turned into her first booking which had a
domino effect. Her exotic look coupled with her zany sense of humor
made her a favorite of commercial & video casting directors. She moved
for several years to Europe where her career skyrocketed. Along the way
she learned the very useful art of how to ask for directions and order
from a menu in 7 languages!
Although she appeared in dozens of TV commercials, magazines &
advertisements, she is possibly best known for being "music video girl"
of the early 90s. You may recognize her from such famous music videos
as Guns 'N Roses - "Don't Cry", Van Halen's - "Poundcake" and as "the
skinny white model" in Sir-Mix-A-Lot's - "Baby's Got Back". Not exactly
an Oscar nomination, but still fun cocktail party trivia!
Caroline lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband
Doug.
