Rene Marie Russo is an American actress and former model. She was born on February 17, 1954 in Burbank, California to parents Shirley and Nino Russo. She is known to have Italian, German, and English ancestry. She was once a student of Burroughs High School but she eventually left school when she was on her 10th grade so as to work and help her family. She took different jobs such as working as a movie cashier and working in an eyeglass factory. Before she got an acting job, she first worked as a model after she was spotted by a modeling agent from International Creative Management. She was seen appearing on Cosmopolitan, Mademoiselle, and Vogue covers. It was in the year 1987 when she decided to enter the world of show business and particularly appeared on the TV series Sable. From then on, she became prominent in the industry, especially when she was chosen to play as the Bond girl in the movie The Thomas Crown Affair in 1999.
So what’s the secret to her slender and skinny figure? According to the A-lister celebrity, she doesn’t really have troubles when it comes to her weight. “I am naturally thin and I actually have difficulty in keeping weight on. I don’t need to keep in shape in the gym, but I do work out at home to keep healthy,” she said. “I work out at home but not to excess. I enjoy keeping fit and I do cardiovascular exercises. I also like outdoor activities like cycling and hiking.”
And for her diet, she said she’s not a fan of it. “Dieting isn’t healthy. I know that’s easy for me to say that because I just don’t put on weight, but even if I were bigger, I wouldn’t diet madly.”
