Paulina Porizkova found fame as a supermodel, gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1984.
Born in Czechoslovakia, Porizkova married Ric Ocasek, leader of the Cars rock group.
Her book, "No Filter," reveals what she went through growing up, achieving success (she was the face of Estee Lauder in 1989) as well as her long marriage to Ocasek that ended in divorce--and, after Ocasek's death, betrayal.
She told Steve Tarter that being famous was like being in a soap bubble. "You see out but you can't join in," she said.
"What people don't realize is that fame makes you unbelievably isolated. If you're someone who doesn't mind being isolated, that's fine but if you're a person like me that likes to be with people, it can be terribly confining," said Porizkova.
