Jessica Hart attended Sophia Mundi Rudolph Steiner School in Collingwood, Victoria until she was noticed at the age of 15 at a local shopping center. Another story of her rise to fame has her entering into a modeling competition hosted by Dolly Magazine in 2000 because her aunt or a friend convinced her to. She did enter and win the competition with her mother, Rae, and sister, Ashley, as witnesses at Crown Casino. Her sister is a professional model in Melbourne.

General Info:
Jessica Hart, 22, is about to become world famous—but she's still got a lot on her mind. For instance, the Guess model (and Vogue Australia cover girl) just moved from Nolita to a much larger apartment in Tribeca, and yet, she says, "The area kind of sucks. There's nothing going on." Still, the quieter 'hood may mean fewer of the paparazzi who are likely to populate her future: Come Tuesday, when Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue hits stands featuring a sexy pictorial of her inside, Aussie fashionistas won't be the only ones murmuring her name. "I just can't wait to see it. Or maybe I can," she frets. Jessica's been headed toward the big time after she won a Melbourne modeling competition at age 14, since collecting best pal and fellow Aussie catwalker Miranda Kerr as well as rocker boyfriend Nicolas Potts (co-founder, with Whitney Port squeeze Jay Lyon, of the band Tamarama). Still, she's anxious about appearing in upcoming episodes of MTV's The City, which spotlights their relationship. "I'm definitely not looking forward to that coming out," she says. "I don't want to hate it and be like, 'What were you thinking?' " She's worried too about keeping her love alive, given the couple's "full-throttle" careers. And then there's that spread of her on the beach in Mexico. "In Australia, [SI's swimsuit issue] is not as big of a deal as it is here," says Jessica. "That makes me nervous." And we thought we had problems.
