Naomi Watts
At the age of 18, Naomi Watts decided to become a model and signed a contract with a modeling agency, which sent her to Japan. However, after several unsuccessful auditions, she returned to Sydney. There, Watts was hired for a department store advertisement that caught the attention of the magazine Follow Me, which hired her as an assistant fashion editor. A chance invitation to participate in a theater workshop inspired Watts to leave her job and pursue acting.
