Las Vegas-born actress and model Rachel Sterling is quick on the rise to fame. The 26-year old blond bombshell has hit the entertainment circuit in full force. First there was her role in the hit comedy The Wedding Crashers alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, then she takes on the character of Stacy on the popular T.V. show Las Vegas and just recently, she's added "Playboy bunny" to her list of accolades with her cover on their May 2006 issue.
For Sterling – who started in the business as a lingerie model – all is in a day's work.
While in Toronto hosting Playboy's summer swimwear fashion show, we sit down with the star in her suite at the chic boutique Pantages Hotel to discuss her collection of Playboy's, how it was to work with Vince Vaughn and why Nicole Richie has the best wardrobe around.
ELLECANADA.COM: Was your recent spread as a "Playboy" centerfold the first time you posed nude?
Rachel Sterling: Yes, it was my first time. But my page is not considered to be a 'centerfold.' Centerfolds are always the girl-next-door type. I was a celebrity pictorial.
EC: This is because first and foremost you're an actress, right?
RS: Right. I'd just finished filming The Wedding Crashers and started working on a new show called Reno 911 when my management company was approached by Playboy to see if there was anyone whom they thought was pretty and might like to be featured in the magazine. Guess model Diora Baird, who is also represented by my management company, was on the cover of Playboy in August 2005. So, when they asked me if I would do it, I said yes.
EC: Did you feel inhibited at all? Was this something you always wanted to do?
RS: Well, when they asked me, right away I was into the idea. Playboy has been around for 53 years, so I know they're legitimate and reputable. I also happen to have a collection of my own (she smiles) I'm a big fan!
EC: Was your family supportive about you posing for Playboy?
RS: My mom loves it! She was gushing when she saw it, telling me how beautiful I look.
