Things You Don't Know About Hope Hicks
Nov 13 2020
While filling multiple roles within the Donald Trump administration, Hope Hicks became the youngest person to serve as White House Communications Director. But there's a lot more to learn about the woman known as the "Trump whisperer." Here are some things you may not know about Hope Hicks.

Often drawing comparisons to Victoria's Secret model Hilary Rhoda, Hicks took a pretty serious stab at modeling in her teen years. According to NPR, she landed a modeling gig for Ralph Lauren in 2002, then signed a two-year contract with Ford, the famous modeling agency that has represented everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Naomi Campbell.

While her Ford connections helped her land TV commercials, Hicks' most high-profile gig, according to Cosmopolitan, came in the form of a cover shoot for The It Girl, a novel spin-off of the TV series Gossip Girl.

Even with her early success in the industry, Hicks knew modeling may not be her career of choice. In an interview with Greenwich Magazine, she said,

"I'm not ready to decide if modeling is what I want to do with my life. I'm having so much fun, I'm just going to go where it takes me. But I want to continue with the acting."

In the same interview, Hicks also dropped a hint about her future and offered a glimpse at her family's politically connected past, saying,

"I'm also interested in politics — it runs in the family, my parents met while they were working on Capitol Hill. If the acting thing doesn't work out, I could really see myself in politics. Who knows?"
