Hollywood has tried to make supermodels into movie stars before. Pam Anderson is the one that jumps to mind, Have you ever seen Barb Wire?

    Pam Anderson was already a bankable celebrity by the time Barb Wire came out due to the popularity of Baywatch, and the financial investment for that particular movie was considerably lower than anything Gadot has done: Barb Wire had a $9 million budget, while Gadot's first headliner, Wonder Woman, had a budget of $149 million. Plus investors in the 90s understood if the movie didn't do well in the box office they could still make their money back on video rentals.
