Laetitia Casta
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Laetitia Casta is a natural beauty that has impressed the modeling world with her style and French exotic appeal. Born May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audere France, she is the middle child of Linc and Dominique Casta. Growing up in Normandy, Laetitia was a tomboy who enjoyed drawing and writing. Boys did not appear to notice her too much in her childhood, but she blossomed by the time she reached the age of 15. During a relaxing day at the beach, a Paris modeling agent from Madison Models discovered Laetitia playing in the sand. Her striking blue eyes, light brown hair and 5’8” frame caught their attention (even though she wasn’t wearing any makeup). From this moment, her life had changed into a whole new direction.
