Valletta told People magazine, "As was correctly reported earlier this week, my stay at The Meadows had nothing to do with substance abuse or addiction I am pleased to say I have seven years' sobriety. In August 2006, the New York Daily News reported that Valletta completed a stint at The Meadow rehabilitation facility in Wickenburg, Arizona, for stress and non-substance-related issues. Valletta is married to Olympic volleyball player Chip McCaw. She was married in 1994 to Hervé Le Bihan. And later that year, Valletta portrayed Claire in the Mennan Yapo-directed Premonition, starring Sandra Bullock. She first received second billing as a nubile young bride in the James Wan-directed Saw follow-up Dead Silence - a slasher picture about a quiet little town plagued by the spirit of an evil ventriloquist. After a noticeable onscreen absence in 2006, Valletta returned to cinemas the following year, with two back-to-back roles in supernatural thrillers. As Allegra Cole, the city's most eligible bachelorette, who falls for the least likely candidate (overweight and self-conscious klutz Kevin James), Valletta played an admirable straight man to both James and "date doctor" Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (Will Smith). In 2005, however, she attained her highest-profile exposure to date (and gained much-deserved respect as an actress) in the Andy Tennant-directed romantic comedy Hitch. Valletta's roles - given the actress' off-camera motherhood and intermittent magazine work - accumulated slowly over the next several years (in films such as the Nicolas Cage holiday vehicle The Family Man and the Danny DeVito-directed black comedy Duplex) as a result, Valletta only ascended gradually to top billing. In 2000, the model debuted onscreen as the spirit of a murdered coed in Robert Zemeckis' Hitchcock retread, What Lies Beneath, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. Jude Royal Gala Benefit in Monte Carlo, and later parlayed that effort into a promotional tour for Elizabeth Arden Splendor perfume that had Valletta and other company reps giving terminally ill children heartstring-tugging "moments of splendor."Īlthough hosting duties on House of Style represented Valletta's first broad leap into filmed entertainment, she delayed her cinematic work for another four years. In 1999, Valletta's modeling intersected with social work when she helped raise over 350,000 dollars for the St. The by-now-familiar program found Valletta and Harlow carrying viewers behind the scenes of the fashion world, and (in the process) covered everything from runway preparation to before-the-camera apparel to anorexia nervosa. In 1996, Valletta succeeded Crawford again - this time as the co-host (alongside Shalom Harlow) of MTV's hit documentary series House of Style. Not long after, Valletta also signed on as the chief spokeswoman for Elizabeth Arden. That summer, under representation by Boss Models, the svelte 19-year-old Oklahoman blonde upstaged heavyweight Cindy Crawford as the primary spokeswoman for Capezio handbags - and turned more than a few heads in the process. Supermodel-cum-Hollywood actress Amber Valletta hit the runway in her late teens, and, though a frequent presence in fashion ads for several years prior, first made national headlines in July 1993. She has since appeared in films such as Man About Town (2006), Dead Silence (2007), Gamer (2009) and The Spy Next Door (2010). She then starred in the hit film Hitch (2005). She made her film debut in Drop Back Ten (2000). She began her career as a model for fashion agencies, and appeared on cover pages of internationally recognized magazines.
