Carré Otis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carré Otis (born September 28, 1968 in San Francisco, California) is an American supermodel and actress who appeared as Emily in Wild Orchid.
She married actor Mickey Rourke in 1992. They divorced in December 1998.
She attended Marin Academy in San Rafael, California.
Otis was also featured in a 1992 issue of Playboy magazine.
Although Otis was briefly a cause célèbre following the release of Wild Orchid (due to rumors she and then-lover Rourke filmed an unsimulated sex scene), Otis' film career never took off, and her modelling career also stagnated as Otis struggled with her long-time anorexia[1] and attendant health issues, including heart seizures. Her subsequent minor weight gain took her out of the supermodel leagues, but since then Otis has regained popularly as a plus-size model, and as spokesperson for healthy eating.
She was a spokesperson for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week in 2003.
She is a vegetarian.
