Editor's Take:
Vanessa Lachey has built a long career by moving easily between pageants, hosting and acting. A military childhood took her across the United States, Europe and Asia before she settled in South Carolina. Her teen pageant win led to MTV, where she became a familiar face to a generation of music fans. She later hosted reality and game shows and took small acting roles. Her big break came with NCIS: Hawaiʻi, where she was the franchise's first female lead. She also co-hosts a Netflix dating show with her husband.
