Laetitia Marie Laure Casta (born May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audemer, Normandy, France) is a French supermodel and actress. Laetitia's mother, Line Blin, is from Normandy. Her father, Dominique Casta, is from Corsica. She has an older brother, Jean-Baptiste, and a younger sister, Marie-Ange.

Early years

Casta, whose voluptuousness has been a subject of discussion in the world of fashion, spent her childhood in Normandy and has stated in an interview with Elle magazine: "I tell people that my breasts are 'Made in Normandy' from butter and crème fraîche!"

In 1999, Casta came out first of a national survey ordered by the Association des Maires de France to decide who should be the the new model for the bust of Marianne, a symbol of the French Republic, which stands outside every French town hall. Her bust was unveiled at the mayoral association's annual conference on November 23, 1999.[1] She succeeded model Inès de la Fressange in this role. Shortly thereafter a mini-scandal shook France, after it was publicized that Casta had relocated to London. Although she claimed that her move was motivated by practical professional reasons, the magazine Le Point, among others, suggested that she was trying to escape taxes.
