Elizabeth Hurley is Still Bedazzling

We all remember her as the sexy devil in Bedazzled. At the age of 43, this former actress is still as hot as she was in the film. Formerly known to the media as “Hugh Grant’s girlfriend,” Elizabeth is now married to Arun Nayer.
As a teen, Elizabeth aspired to be a dancer. She took ballet classes and even studied dance and theater in London. During her teen years, she became very involved in punk fashion. Can you imagine her with pink hair?
Elizabeth’s first big break as a model came in 1995. She was introduced to the world as an Estée Lauder model. Since then, she has become part of the company's image as a result of being featured in various ads for Lauder’s Pleasures, Beautiful, Dazzling, and Sensuous fragrances. Although she has retired from acting, she is still employed by Estée Lauder.
Her first film appearance was in 1987’s Aria. The film is broken down into ten segments. The segments are musical accompaniments to arias and operas. Elizabeth appears in the film’s fifth segment sub-titled “Die Tote Stadt,” which means The Dead City in German. The scene takes place in the "dead" city of Bruges, Belgium. The rest of the film consisted of scenes put together by several directors.
In addition to starring in Bedazzled, Hurley has gained substantial recognition because of her roles in the Austin Powers films. She starred in both Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Elizabeth gave birth to a baby boy in 2002. She currently resides in England with her son and husband.
