Movies: Liya Kebede in Desert Flower

Posted: 17 Mar 2011 04:39 AM PDT

Model Liyah Kebede crosses over from the runway to the big screen with her first feature film Desert Flower. Liyah has seen monstrous success in the industry, also blasting open doors as the first black  model to sign a cosmetics contract with Estée Lauder.  Born Ethiopian, 33 year old Liyah portrays Waris Dirie; a somalian model who suffered through the tortures of female circumcision and the horrors of being sold into marriage at 13.  Although groundbreaking and troubling subjects, the movie she says is about triumph and success.

The film premieres this Friday in New York exclusively at the Angelika Film Center and in Los Angeles.
