Cora Leigh Skinner


Biography :

Cora Leigh Skinner was born on June 18, 1985, in Alexandria, Virginia, but her formative years were spent on a sprawling ranch in Creston, California. Cora Skinner enjoyed an active childhood that brought activities like track and field, cheerleading and gymnastics her way. Cora Skinner's taller and skinnier body made her stand out from her classmates and, since her older sister was interested in fashion, Cora Skinner acted as her model when needed.After high school, Cora Skinner pursued an accounting degree at Long Beach State, but the lure of modeling quickly took hold. She got her first gig, a model shot in Skinnie Magazine, and then her job at Hooters led her to compete in their international pageant. Cora Skinner's top 10 finish got her a feature interview on The Best Damn Sports Show, and an agency contract soon followed. For now, her accounting training was put on hold.

They arrived in the form of substantial print and catalog work. Starting in 2006, Cora Skinner graced the cover of Sport Truck, turned up in FHM's Best Friends Spread, covered Hot Bikes, and earned an 11-page spread across Maxim Belgium and Maxim Espanol. Cora Skinner coupled her magazine work with successful ad campaigns for Guess, Marciano and Avalon Clothing, among others. She also served as the primary eye candy on the SPORTSbyBROOKS website. One of Cora Skinner's most memorable modeling experiences came in Paris when she was asked to pose with the Arc de Triomphe. The "perfect shot" came with she and the other models posing in-between four lanes of busy traffic.

Initially, she "played" models on shows like VH1 Celebrity Sex Lives and CSI: Miami, but soon she got minor character roles (albeit non-speaking) on a pair of Las Vegas episodes and played a waitress on The Office, one of her favorite shows. Cora Skinner also got to poke fun at herself and modeling on The Tonight Show, where she finally got to speak in a live ad for Axe cologne.Cora Skinner's high-profile relationship with Brody Jenner has made her more recognizable and given her additional television play. She played "herself" on Shark and Brody Jenner's own show, The Hills. In 2008, she was cast in the “Nine Lives” music video by Def Leppard. That same year, she partook in a model search on Deal or No Deal. Competing against 27 other models, Cora Skinner didn't win but she did make it to the semi-finals.
