Early Life

Rachel Hunter was born on September 9th of 1969 in Glenfield, Auckland. When she was still quite young, her parents divorced. One of Rachel's earliest ambitions was to become a dancer, and she studied ballet throughout her childhood. However, she was eventually diagnosed with a rare blood disease, and this made it impossible for her to pursue her dancing dreams.

Hunter describes her childhood self as a "shy, inward kid," and her struggle with health issues caused her to miss months of her final years at high school. During this period, she worked at a local ice cream parlor. Her mother was the first one who suggested that she try modeling, as she could see that Hunter's confidence was suffering because of her failed dancing ambitions.

Rachel states that she started to take her modeling career seriously when she was approached on the beach by a photographer who wanted to take pictures of her. Although she rolled her eyes at him, she eventually agreed and started attending modeling school. Hunter then started doing modeling jobs in New Zealand before returning to school at the age of 17, after she had recovered from her illness.

It was at this point that she received a phone call from her mother, who said "Rachel, New York wants to see you." With a promising modeling career ahead of her, she accepted a contract in New York and relocated to the Big Apple at the age of 17.
