A top supermodel throughout the '90s and '00s, Banks was always more than just a pretty face and perfect body. Her résumé boasts stints as an actress, recording artist, author, talk-show host and reality-TV queen.

Off screen, the beauty has used her charms on director John Singleton, singer Seal and basketball player Chris Webber.
