Vanessa Bednar was born and raised in Mt.Prospect, Illinois. She went to
Maine West High school. As a child she was always an entrepreneur going
door to door bothering her neighbors selling pillows, plants, homemade
Barbie perfume, or other items. At 19 she opened a tanning salon with
her business partner James while attending community college at Oakton.
Oakton is where she got the taste of the acting bug and it bit hard. It was in California where she started pursuing her
acting career that she obtained her SAG card in 1996. She did various promotions with
Hawaiian Tropic and appeared in several movies as a Hawaiian Tropic girl
such as Vegas Vacation and My Favorite Martian. Having produced over 100 live model search
events all over the world, she never left the stage, as she hosted most
of the events as well as produced them.
Vanessa was the Executive producer
for the 25th Anniversary Hawaiian Tropic International Model search
featuring Everclear. The show was syndicated nationwide. She has booked over 40 roles in three years and
is not stopping. Her goal is not to be a star, just to continually work.
Being on set is her bliss. Vanessa is also a writer and her first book
will be published this year.
