Paulina Porizkova, one of the world's most well-known faces and an early supermodel for many brands, joined me on "Salon Talks" to discuss her new collection of essays, "No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful." The book, which Porizkova says is not exactly a memoir, but reads a bit like one, begins with a foreword by her publisher at Open Field, Maria Shriver.
Porizkova says Shriver reached out to her about a collaboration during the first wave of COVID when she was stuck at home in the countryside. The model and writer was then determined to complete a full book in a very short period of time on topics she had spent years thinking about, particularly her experiences coming up in the height of '80s and early '90s supermodel popularity and the psychological and physical challenges that came with being objectified as a teenager.
