Miscellaneous
Leslie Louise Bibb grew up in Nelson County, Virginia. She was born in Bismarck, North Dakota, on November 17, 1973.
Leslie later relocated to Richmond with her mother and three older sisters, where she attended St. Gertrude, an all-girls Catholic high school.
Leslie’s mother took images of her then-16-year-old daughter and sent them in to The Oprah Winfrey Show (1986) and the Elite Agency for a countrywide modelling search in 1990.
Leslie wasn’t impressed with the images, but the judges were: John Casablancas, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Iman, who chose her as the winner.
Leslie flew to New York City after finishing her junior year and signed a deal with Elite. During the summer, she worked as a model and travelled to Japan.
She returned home for her senior year and graduated in 1992, after which she chose to attend the University of Virginia rather than pursue a full-time modelling career.
Leslie Bibb dropped out after one semester and relocated to New York City. She spent three years at the William Esper acting class before taking a nine-month break to continue modelling in Europe.
Her images have been published in magazines such as Maxim and FHM.

Later that year, she acted in and co-produced the independent comedy Miss Nobody. She received the Best Actress Award at the 26th Boston Film Festival for her performance.
Variety critic Alissa Simon lauded her “Statuesque star Bibb, as she showed in Goran Dukic’s Wristcutters: A Love Story, is a clever actor eager to give herself completely to a part.”
“She pratfalls, groans endlessly, and dresses in unsuitable clothes as the wonderfully goofy murderess.”
Kevin James’ The Zookeeper, which was released in 2011, included Bibb as well.
