Elizabeth Hurley is a well established name in the Briton modeling circle and movies. She came into the public eye only when her much publicized affair with actor Hugh Grant was made known. How she initially found her bearings, well that is another story.
Elizabeth Jane Hurley was born on June 10, 1965 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, as the second daughter of Angela and Reg Hurley. Her father was a major in the British Army, while her mother was a schoolteacher at Kempshott Infant School. Her older sister Debbie is a literary agent and younger brother Michael works as an engineer.
Hurley took ballet classes as a child. She attended a variety of schools as a child including the Kempshott Junior School and Infants school and the Harriet Costello School, now known as Costello Technology College. She went on to graduate from Queen Mary's College, Basingstoke, for one year, followed by Basingstoke College of Technology, and later won a modeling scholarship to the London Studio Centre.
As a child she was into ballet and even took lessons for that, but while growing up she turned towards punk fashion with pink dyed hair and started moving in new age travelers groups.
