Biography
Lisa S. (born as Lisa Selesner on May 26, 1975) is an American model, actress, and Channel V veejay and an international model based in Hong Kong. She was born in Monaco to a French father and Peggy, a Jewish Americanmother, but grew up in New York where she was talent-scouted to be a model at age 14. S was raised by her mother and her stepfather, Gary, who is currently the president of Caesars Palace. S grew up in the United States. She began modeling at age 14. She shortened her Selesner surname to S because, she said, after moving to Hong Kong in 2000, 'no one could pronounce it'. In Hong Kong she became a top model who lent her exotic looks to fashion catwalks and appeared in advertisements for brands like Citibank, De Beers diamonds, and Olayskincare. She has been described as a "bewitching designer-clad international model." She loves to travel. She hosted a lifestyle programme on TV in Hong Kong. She also starred in three Hong Kong movies: Silver Hawk (2004), Rob-B-Hood (2006) and A Mob Story (2007). She and her boyfriend have sometimes been involved in controversies where paparazzi photographers with telephoto lenses allegedly took pictures of them inside their home and published these pictures; one newspaper reported that they were "infuriated" over this invasion of privacy. On April 6, 2010, Lisa S. wed Daniel Wu in South Africa. She is the founder of the monthly beauty box subscription 'Glamabox' which is provided in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Singapore
