Starting From Scratch

Miss Israel

Gal Gadot has crowned Miss Israel in 2004, while still a teenager. The beauty queen lifestyle, on the other hand, didn’t appeal to her. She told People, “I showed up late to everything. They make you wear evening gowns for breakfast. I didn’t wear evening gowns to breakfast. I didn’t wear my makeup.”
