Catherine Gontran was born in Paris, France and raised in Houston, Texas. (So far so good, right?) She’s half French and half Vietnamese, which explains why she has such a unique, sultry look. After high school she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a fitness model and be closer to one of her loves, the art of movie-making. Recently she also partnered up to open a new restaurant and bar in Beverly Hills called Carson House. These are the kind of well-rounded qualities (and well, her gorgeous look) that most definitely qualifies her as “one to watch.”
