A native of Scarborough, Ontario who attended Woburn Collegiate Institute, she first came into international recognition at the age of 14 when she won the prestigious Ford Models "Supermodel of the World" contest in 1986, the youngest person ever to win that honour.
Monika Schnarre went on to become an actress, and won acclaim as one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her major television appearance was as the Sorceress in the television series, the Beastmaster, which ran from 1999 to 2001.
