This strikingly beautiful brunette actor and model’s first brush with fame in the USA sprang from her relationship with actor Hugh Grant. Hurley first gained the limelight in a revealing dress at the premiere of Grant’s star-making vehicle “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (1994). The following year, he was embroiled in a public sex scandal and the tabloid press stalked the couple mercilessly. But Hurley managed to emerge somewhat from Grant’s shadow when she was chosen as Estee Lauder’s spokesmodel and with the release of her first venture as a producer, Grant’s starring thriller “Extreme Measures” (1996).
