Kate Upton and Cinema: A Retrospective

December 20, 2013

The release of the trailer for next year's spurned lover revenge comedy,"The Other Woman," has the Interwebs buzzing.

They're buzzing because we have our first glimpse of Kate Upton's debut real-life acting role. Her performance, in which she  jogs in slow motion wearing a too-tight bikini on a beach, just like in that Terry Richardson video, is nothing short of astonishing. It is art.

Kate's a champion, and she's followed the champion's playbook authored by her scantily-clad forebears.

She kicked off her career in go-to move for a budding actress: product placement.

Knowing that the movie would not be remembered for its plot or dialogue or dramatic performances, Upton arranged to have her two-second appearance be the most memorable thing about the film. How Machiavellian of you Kate!
