Marisa Lee Miller (born August 6, 1978) is an American mannequin best known for her shows in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, and her exploit for intimate apparel retailer Victoria's Secret. After a stint shooting with photographer Mario Testino for fashion magazines like Vogue, Miller commenced working for both companies in 2002. In 2007, she became a Victoria's Secret Angel, and adorned the cover of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue to record-setting figures. Her achievements have led to her being nicknamed the "return of the great American supermodel."

In the early years, Marissa appeared in Perfect 10, a quarterly men's magazine featuring high resolution photos of splendid women who have not had any face lift and focused particularly on slender models.


Perfect 10 was launched by onetime Stanford University computer science professor, championship poker player, and hedge fund manager Norm Zadeh (now Zada) in 1997.
Marissa is also recognized for contracts with companies like Harley-Davidson and for ranking #1 on Maxim magazine's 2008 "Hot 100" list. Apart from modeling, she is an ambassador for the American Cancer Society.
