Josie Maran, a renowned model, was born and raised in the picturesque northern California. Her father, of Russian Jewish descent, and her mother, with Dutch, French, and German ancestry, instilled in her a sense of cultural diversity from a young age.
At the tender age of 12, Josie's life took a dramatic turn when she was approached by a woman at a barbecue to participate in a San Francisco fashion show. This chance encounter led to her discovery by a modeling agent, who recognized her potential and encouraged her to pursue a career in modeling.
As her demand grew, Josie's popularity skyrocketed after appearing in a Backstreet Boys music video. Her impressive portfolio includes work with top brands such as American Eagle Outfitters, Allen Allen, and Mango. Glamour Magazine bestowed upon her her first magazine cover, and she went on to grace future covers, solidifying her status as a leading model.
Josie's extensive resume boasts collaborations with esteemed publications like Marie Claire, Guess, and Victoria's Secret. Her annual appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue have cemented her status as a swimsuit model extraordinaire, featuring her on the coveted cover for three consecutive years.
In 2002, Josie made her foray into acting, starring in the lead role of the independent film, The Mallory Effect. This marked a significant milestone in her career, as she transitioned from modeling to the world of acting.
