Kimberly Lynn Stolz (born June 8, 1983) is an American fashion model, television personality, author, and financial executive. Stolz was a correspondent for MTV News, and served as video jockey and host for The Freshmen, an emerging artist show on mtvU. Stolz first came to fame as a contestant on Cycle 5 of America's Next Top Model, where she became the ninth eliminated. As of 2018[update], she is an executive with BofA Securities.[1][2]
On June 24, 2014, Stolz published her first book, Unfriending My Ex: And Other Things I'll Never Do.
Early life and America's Next Top Model appearance
[edit]Stolz grew up on the Upper East Side of New York City[3][4] and attended The Brearley School in Manhattan. Her father worked as a stockbroker at Goldman Sachs and her mother was a former supermodel who modeled for Givenchy and Ralph Lauren.[3] In 2005, she earned a bachelor's degree in government and intergovernmental politics from Wesleyan University;[5][6] she wrote her undergraduate thesis about U.S. foreign policy.[4] After graduating, Stolz briefly worked in a law firm.[7]
In fall 2005, Stolz was the sixth girl (after Cassandra Jean, Nik Pace, Kyle Kavanagh, Ashley Black and Bre Scullark) to be selected to participate on the fifth cycle of the UPN reality television show America's Next Top Model. She is an out lesbian, most notably kissing Sarah Rhoades whom Stolz survived her first bottom two appearance.[8] Later throughout her stay, Stolz received two first call-outs. The judges eliminated Stolz eighth (since fellow contestant Cassandra Jean quit the competition in episode four) in London during her second bottom two appearance.[9]
Career
[edit]Stolz was a video jockey for The Freshman on mtvU and was also an MTV News correspondent. In 2008, she reported extensively on the 2008 Iowa Caucus and interviewed presidential candidates John Edwards and Mike Huckabee.[10][11] Stolz also pursued a career in fashion modeling; soon after she appeared on America's Next Top Model, Stolz was signed with Elite Model Management[12] in New York City and was later signed to Ford Models[13] in New York. Stolz also had a small role on an episode of the UPN series, Veronica Mars, as part of a challenge win for America's Next Top Model.[5] She has also been featured as one of CoverGirl's Top Models in Action.
Stolz is signed to Ford Models. She has written articles for The Huffington Post.
In 2008, Stolz was listed as one of the most memorable contestants from America's Top Model by AOL Entertainment Canada.[14]
In 2012, Stolz and her friend Amanda Leigh Dunn, who appeared in the reality TV show The Real L Word, opened "The Dalloway", a two-level restaurant and cocktail lounge in SoHo, New York City. It closed in 2013.[15]
In 2014, Stolz published the book Unfriending My Ex, addressing how social media has shaped her generation.[16]
