Amber Valletta
Valletta has been featured on 17 American Vogue covers throughout her modeling career. That’s why it’s no surprise that she attracted DiCaprio’s attention. Allegedly, he saw the Phoenix-born beauty in a magazine in 1997 and made his move. He ordered his people to contact hers and they dated for a few months.

The relationship didn’t last but it’s fascinating to see how DiCaprio’s mind worked. Later, Valletta began her acting career and became popular in movies like Hitch and The Spy Next Door. Not many models make a smooth transition to a Hollywood career but she did reasonably well (via Just Jared).
