Martha Stewart recalls embarrassing moment from teenage modeling days

Martha Stewart unveiled some insights into her days when she started modeling during her teenage.

The lifestyle mogul chatted with Pamela Anderson for Elle about her recent starring in The Last Showgirl.

In the conversation, the stars shared their stories of navigating careers in the industry centered on physical appearance.

Marthe recalled that during her teenage days of modeling, she refused to wear two pieces for an audition.

"They asked all the girls to bring bikinis, and after my interview with about 15 guys sitting around a table, they said, 'Go get into your bikini,'" she remembered. "And I said, 'Does the part require a bikini?' And the guy said, 'No, but we have you here, so we might as well look at you.' And I just walked out of the room."

"I was maybe 17 [years old] at the time, but I just wouldn’t put up with that crap. That’s the way I’ve been all along, I just wouldn’t put up with it. When you see that other girls put up with it because they need the money or they need the job, it’s a difficult situation. I think that might be getting better after all these years," the writer continued

Anderson noted that having a business in an industry that is based on "physical beauty" is "hard."

"You’re in this business and you want to please people and you have a gut feeling that maybe it’s not the right thing to do, and you can get yourself in these dangerous situations," the actress and activist added.
