Indian-born fashion model Padma Lakshmi is a good example of someone who has pulled off a successful second act in life. She was a top fashion model for several years and graced the covers of several magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Newsweek (shown here).
Lakshmi has shifted in to a new field - food maven. She's written two highly successful cookbooks and is the host of the Bravo reality show, Top Chef.
She is so gorgeous and intellegent. Her only mistake was marrying Salman Rashdie, the controversial author, who was more than double her age when she married him. I think Rashdie was too posessive and was not liked by her fans.
