"Any model worth her whitening toothpaste has spent enough time hamming it up for photographers that at some point, she&amp;#x27;s thought, &amp;quot;I can totally be an actress!&amp;quot; Anne V--Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret catwalker, former girlfriend of Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, and owner of a set of legs that just won&amp;#x27;t quit--is the latest to make the leap to acting and become a &amp;quot;slash&amp;quot; (model-slash-actress, for the uninitiated). She&amp;#x27;s in good company, too... She&amp;#x27;ll make her acting debut in A Good Day to Die Hard (AKA Die Hard 5, if Bruce Willis had his way) in early 2013, but before that even gets released, she&amp;#x27;s landed herself a rather serious second role, according to the Huffington Post: &amp;quot;Ms. V (n&amp;amp;eacute;e Anne Vyalitsyna) is set to star in &amp;#x27;Lullaby,&amp;#x27; a &amp;#x27;comedy-drama,&amp;#x27; alongside Amy Adams, Garrett Hedlund and Jennifer Hudson. The film is about a man dealing with taking his father off life support.&amp;quot; Heavy stuff! You&amp;#x27;ll have to wait a while to see if she&amp;#x27;s got the chops, but meanwhile, take a look back at some other slashes who have successfully made the leap! Brooklyn Decker made the switch rather recently--her first legit role was in 2011&amp;#x27;s Just Go With It--but she&amp;#x27;s already racking up movie credits left and right. Action flicks are the bread and butter of blonde bombshells, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley didn&amp;#x27;t let manhood at large down with her debut in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Those other-worldly good looks served Gemma Ward well when she played a mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Noted egghead Lily Cole has been unsurprisingly choosing not-your-average-slash kind of roles for a few years now: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus and Snow White and the Huntsmen are both on her resume. Molly Sims was a small-screen fixture for so long--she starred in Las Vegas from 2003 to 2008--that we almost forget she was once a Sports Illustrated swimsuit girl! Fellow beach-body goddess Rebecca Romijn has been racking up roles for more than a decade, starting with a guest appearance on Friends and working her way up to X-Men and a regular role on Ugly Betty. We&amp;#x27;ll forgive Elizabeth Hurley for Bedazzled, but only because her breakthrough in Austin Powers and more recent stint on Gossip Girl were so damn fabulous. How many fellow slashes can say they have Married...With Children on their IMDB page? None, which is why Milla Jovovich just may be the defining doyenne of the category (that, and um, about 35 other seriously big films). And last but not least, of course, this list would be utterly incomplete without the original: Brooke Shields, who scandalized the nation in a Calvin Klein ad in 1980, then went on to ditch the &amp;quot;slash&amp;quot; from her resume and become a respected actress. Well played, Brooke. Do you gals think Anne V. has what it takes to become a legit screen star? Which of these ladies do you take the most seriously? And who could use another few weeks in acting school? Discuss!
