Why she might be annoying:

    She started modeling at age 14 when a talent agency forged her mother's signature.
    Her face inspired a new generation of baby doll-like models.
    Hr eyes are far apart.
    She was being touted as a supermodel before turning 18.
    When she read in August 2008 that she was retiring from modeling to pursue acting, she stated, 'I was surprised to wake up this morning and read news of my own retirement. While I am taking some time off currently to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family, I am still very much a (excited and enthusiastic) working model and actress. I'm only 20, for God's sakes.'
    She then promptly retired from modeling, her last job was a pictorial in the October 2008 issue of Spanish Marie Claire.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Growing up she was a tomboy and a class clown.
    Modeling scout David Cunningham from the New York agency IMG stated, 'Look how confident she is. I mean, she looks like she's been doing this for years, and she's a 15-year-old kid walking in an alleyway in Perth.'
    By age 16, in 2004 , she became the youngest model to appear on American Vogue photographed by Steven Meisel as one of the nine 'Models of the Moment.' along with such established models as Gisele Bundchen and Karolina Kurkova.
    At age 17, she became the famous face of Calvin Klein's Obsession Night perfume billboards-replacing that pompous Kate Moss in the process.
    When she posed on the inaugural cover of Vogue China, 300,000 copies were sold in just three hours.
    At age 18, she became the first model ever to appear on the cover of Teen Vogue magazine.
    Photographer Michael Thompson said of her, 'She's an exotic blonde, the rarest of creatures.'
    Vogue Paris crowned her one of the top 30 models of the 2000s.
    For her work in 'The Black Balloon' she was nominated for the Film Critics Circle of Australia Award for Best Actress and the Inside Film Award for Best Actress.
    She was seeing Heath Ledger during the 2007 holiday season, and when he died in early 2008 she was devastated.
    She finally got back into modeling, shooting her first pictorial in years in Australia's Sunday Telegraph Magazine for the February2011 edition.
