This Hollywood actress and sultry model with a bright appearance gained incredible popularity after the release of the erotic melodrama "Wild Orchid" on the wide screen, and her real-life romance with the main character of the tape - Mickey Rourke - became not only scandalous, but also deadly for a star.
Modeling career
Carrie Otis, who graced the covers of the most fashionable magazines and starred in recognizable advertising campaigns, was born in 1968 in an extremely dysfunctional family. Constantly watching her drinking parents, the girl tried alcohol at the age of 10. It is not known how her fate would have developed in the future, but the attractive Carrie, constantly dreaming of a modeling career, leaves for New York to try her luck.
A completely new streak in her life is coming for her: agencies became interested in the charming brunette, immediately offering her a job in glossy publications with millions of copies. Expressive staged photos in Elle magazine overnight bring her popularity, followed by the conclusion of contracts with the brands Calvin Klein and Guess, anda hot Playboy photo shoot makes her not only famous, but also the most desirable woman in America.
Wild Orchid and love
Carrie Otis, who drove men crazy with her exotic appearance, realizes that a modeling career is short-lived, and begins to look for new ways to earn money and success. After learning about the ongoing casting for the role of young Emily in the film "Wild Orchid", she decides to try her hand. A beauty with a beautiful figure is noticed by Mickey Rourke, who, together with director Zalman King, chooses a partner in the film.
They say that on the samples a special relationship was immediately established between them. A famous and vicious film actor falls in love at first sight with a woman who surprisingly combined experience and spontaneity. Otis, who knows how to control men, is seriously interested in a Hollywood celebrity.
Failures in film and modeling
Erotic film, notorious for its abundance of explicit scenes, does not become a springboard for a model dreaming of new heights. Carrie Otis, whose filmography was not replenished with the main roles, decides to leave the film business, realizing that she will not reach any heights in Hollywood. She tries herself on television, but new projects do not interest the viewer and fail. After disappointments in the film and television business, the modeling career is also on the decline.
Charming Carrie Otis, whose photo was printed by all the glamor publications, is gradually starting to lose her model appearance. The onset of he alth problems always lead to an appetizingforms a girl to anorexia. Wanting to lose weight to the point of madness, the model brings herself to mental illness and complete exhaustion, after which the girl desperately begins to fight for her life.
Victory over yourself
After overcoming a terrible illness, Otis is gaining the hated weight with which she had fought bitterly for so long. But I must say that this even benefited the model: Marina Rinaldi notices her and offers to work as a plus size model. Carrie Otis, whose biography has dozens of covers in the most famous glossy magazines, is once again gaining much-needed popularity.
A story of destructive passion
The stormy romance that began on the set of "Wild Orchid" continued after the release of the picture. In 1992, the couple registers a marriage that lasted only 6 years. The model often comes to work wearing dark glasses, because she is ashamed to show her bruises, which her newly-made husband leaves her almost daily. The agency that worked with a promising fashion model, without regret, terminates the contract with her: no one wants a beaten and often hospitalized cover girl.
Mickey Rourke and Carrie Otis, whose public life was watched by millions of viewers, understood that this marriage was destroying them from the inside. The fiercely jealous actor behaved like a real animal: he broke her jaw and beat her so hard that the ambulance team once called by the neighbors found numerous fractures in the woman.
The addictions of twolovers
Later, Carrie Otis admitted to the dark side of her modeling past, which she did not talk about before: "Everyone used cocaine not only as a way to lose weight, but also in order to adapt to the cruel world as much as possible." Living together with the famous actor, who did not hide his addictions, Otis will call a very difficult period in his life. Together they took drugs and alcohol, but at some point the model realizes that she is just going crazy. After another beating by her husband, she tries to forget herself, after which she is taken away with a severe overdose. The model was pumped out, but she was treated for drug and alcohol addiction for a long time, and after recovering, Carrie packs her things and files for divorce.
I must say that Rourke, tormented by destructive passions and violent love, tried to return her for 8 years, brought himself to a mental breakdown. And in an interview, he was frank that he was no longer going to marry, since the only woman he still cannot forget is Carrie Otis.
After the close attention of the yellow press to her person, the beauty carefully guards her personal life. It is known that in 2005 she married a scientist, and now she is the mother of two beautiful girls.
Star revelations
Desiring to tell the whole truth about the terrible business that breaks the lives of young girls, and about her addictions, which almost cost her her life, Otis releases an autobiography that details all the difficulties that she had tocollide.
She admitted that only meditation and yoga have developed in her a tough discipline with which she leads a correct lifestyle. Carrie talks candidly about anorexia and how she de alt with her insecurity about her own beauty. Otis is now doing charity work and is working on a new book.
