Nicole Marie Lenz, known professionally as Nicole Lenz, is an American model and actress (born January 24, 1980)[1] in Cleveland, Ohio.
Career
Lenz began modeling during her teenage years. Her breakthrough as a high-profile model began with a feature in W magazine photographed by Mario Sorrenti, which subsequently led to her signing an international modeling contract with Elite Model Management[2].
During her international modeling career Lenz was featured in high-fashion editorials for Vogue Russia and Vogue Italia. Her Vogue Italia editorial was photographed by David LaChapelle. Lenz has been featured on the covers of French Playboy, Italian Max, and American Health magazine[3], on which she appeared twice.
Lenz placed third in a worldwide contest in which more than 15,000 women participated and subsequently appeared in Playboy magazine's Millennium issue as Miss March 2000. Her centerfold was styled as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, whose appearance as Playboy's first Playmate had been featured in the magazine's inaugural issue[4].
Lenz made her film debut in August 2003 in Confidence, starring Dustin Hoffman and Edward Burns and has since appeared in several independent and feature films, including My Sister's Keeper starring Cameron Diaz, Seeing Other People, Toxic, and Fanboys produced by the Weinstein Company. She also appeared in an episode of CSI: NY, "Playing with Matches" in 2008.[5]
Other Ventures
Lenz later expanded her professional work into yoga and meditation. She became an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher and developed online educational content and programs relating to yoga, meditation, and personal development since 2014.[6]
