Sexy Stamp: Vanessa Haywood
Updated | By MornéJK jk
The budding actress appeared on stage throughout her childhood and as a teenager dancing and acting.
In 2000, she was a Miss South Africa finalist where she was spotted by one of the most sought after modeling agencies in South Africa.
Vanessa’s love of entertainment lead her to study drama to further her acting career in film and television, but not before gaining diplomas in both marketing and business management. She is also fluent in both English and Afrikaans.
She is a regular speaker at corporate conferences and various events, and her vivacious and friendly stage presence coupled with years of stage experience has her MC-ing at many functions.
Her highly successful television career started well before her film career did, having presented for Groen (Kyknet), Top Billing (SABC 3), AgriTV (SABC 1), Superdance (ETV) and Wildlife Video Cast (Asia).
Her biggest career success came in 2009 when she was cast as the leading lady for District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) which sat at number 1 at the Box Office for 3 weeks as well as taking in more than $200 000 million. It was nominated for 4 Oscars.
