Beyond The Edge: Why Paulina Porizkova’s Journey Was So Inspiring
Paulina Porizkova's Beyond The Edge stint has come to an end, and it is time to celebrate her inspiring journey on the show.

From 1988 to 1995, she was the face of Estée Lauder. Paulina was on the judging panel of America's Next Top Model for cycles 10-12 in 2008-2010.
On Beyond The Edge, Paulina competed against nine celebrities in challenges called «adventures» in the jungles of Panama, to raise money for charities of their choice.
