Biography of Alice Mary Sewell

Alice Mary Sewell, an American model who primarily works in Asia, was one of the main contenders for the title of "America's Next Top Model" in the first season of the reality show. Standing at a height of 178 cm and weighing 52 kg, this slender brunette with blue eyes has measurements of 81-61-86.5 cm. She works with agencies such as Wilhelmina West Models in New York, M4 Models, Q6 Models, Model One in Hong Kong, and Studio KLRP and Model 1.

Alice Sewell was born on June 10, 1982, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Initially, she aspired to become a doctor but eventually obtained a bachelor's degree in Spanish and biology from the University of New Mexico. She is highly intelligent and educated, often referring to herself as a "nerdy student."

Early Career and "America's Next Top Model"

Her career in the modeling industry began when Alice was chosen as one of the ten aspiring models to participate in the first season of the promising reality show "America's Next Top Model," hosted by the famous model Tyra Banks. The first season aired from May 20 to July 15, 2003, on UPN. Sewell was introduced on the show as a student with basic medical training. At the age of 20, she finished in 3rd place, losing to Shannon Stewart from Ohio and Adrianne Curry, the winner of the first season, from Illinois.

In 2005, a video surfaced outside the show, in which Alice expressed her anger using profanity towards the people from "America's Next Top Model." This video ranked 16th on the list of "most shocking TV moments." On the other hand, during the filming, her competitors and journalists often made derogatory comments about Alice, suggesting that she suffered from eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. The model always denied these allegations, claiming that her slim figure was entirely natural.

Her favorite movie is the comedy "The Big Lebowski," and her favorite model is English model Karen Elson.
