PROPS: Simona has graced the pages of Elle—among others, strutted her stuff on catwalks around the world, and made movies where the Iron Curtain used to hang

LONG LIVE CZECHOSLOVAKIA! Simona came into the world in Moravia, Czechoslovakia in 1972.

HITTING THE HIGH ROAD: This long-legged beauty left home at the age of 17—against her parents’ wishes—to follow the bright lights of modeling and movie-making.

MUSIC THAT MOVES HER: Jazz music gets Simona in the mood. She says it has to be gentle and relaxed; nothing crazy.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY…: Her favorite body part is her big toe.
