Marisa Miller

Marisa Miller (born Santa Cruz, California, August 6, 1978) is an American fashion model who first gained attention when she appeared in the 1997 premiere issue of Perfect 10 magazine. Although she came in third behind Ashley Degenford and Monica Hansen in Perfect 10's first annual model search, she was repeatedly showcased in following issues, including the covers of the Winter 1998, Aug/Sept 1999, and Fall 2004 editions.
Atypically, she was able to move from a start as a nude magazine model to high profile mainstream work with the likes of no less than Victoria’s Secret and the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006). She's also appeared in other magazines such as Fitness, Shape, and Vogue, as well as worked on campaigns for Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Tommy Hilfiger. In 2004 she served as a modeling judge in the short-lived reality television series Manhunt: The Search for America's Most Gorgeous Male Model.
From an early age Marisa loved surfing, was a standout volleyball player on her high school team, and has long been a big sports fan in general. She's said that if she weren’t a model she would be a sportscaster.
On April 15, 2006 Marisa married her fiancé Griffin Guess, who is Director of Commercials and Music Videos at Encore Hollywood. Three months after the marriage, Marisa changed her last name to "Miller-Guess."
