Project Runway starts up again this month, and Heidi Klum will have the chance to help no-name designers become overnight stars. Along with hosting the hit Bravo show, and retaining her status as a famous supermodel, Heidi also acts in TV shows and movies such as Ella Enchanted, Blowdry, and Sex and the City. There are a lot of actors in Hollywood that have made it from the runway to the red carpet, but it takes more than just good looks to get great reviews. Here are the top ten models that have become Hollywood stars:

1.Paris Hilton- Most people forget that Paris wasn't always just famous for being ridiculously wealthy. The socialite started out her career strutting down the catwalks and is just at the beginning of what must be a comedy career after her first feature film role in House of Wax.

2.Ashton Kutcher- Ashton seamlessly made the transition from Calvin Klein model to Kelso in That 70's Show. Despite a lack of acting depth, he scored role after role in romantic comedies, and even dabbled in dramatic acting in The Butterfly Effect. He didn't stray too far from his modeling roots, and went on to marry fellow ex-model and good-looking person, Demi Moore.

3.Kirsten Dunst- Not only did Kirsten Dunst get to make out with Brad Pitt before entering puberty, but she also modeled the hippest fashions during her brief stint as a child model. And if teenage girls couldn't get any more jealous of Kirsten's career, she also got to play Spiderman's girlfriend in three blockbuster movies.

4.Courteney Cox- While it was her role as Monica Gellar that made Courteney a household name, it was her good looks that made the Ford modeling agency take notice. From surviving three Scream movies to lasting ten seasons on Friends, Courtney has come a long way from the teenage model that once danced on stage with Bruce Springsteen.
