Lisa Selesner (born May 26, 1978), professionally known as Lisa S., is an American international model, actress and Channel V veejay[1][2] based in Hong Kong.[3]
Early life
Lisa Selesner was born on May 26, 1978, in Monaco to an American mother and a father of French and Chinese descent. She was raised in New York City where she was talent-scouted to be a model at age 14.[3] She was raised by her mother and her stepfather, Gary Selesner, who is the president of Caesars Palace.[4][5]
She stated that she shortened her surname from Selesner to the initial "S" because after moving to Hong Kong in 2000, "no one could pronounce it".[3]

In Hong Kong, she became a top model who lent her exotic looks to fashion catwalks and appeared in advertisements for brands like Citibank, De Beers diamonds, and Olay skincare.[3] She has been described as a "bewitching designer-clad international model."[2] She hosted a lifestyle programme on TV in Hong Kong.[2] She also starred in three Hong Kong movies: Silver Hawk (2004), Rob-B-Hood (2006), A Mob Story (2007) and cameoed in the Chinese movie Inseparable (2011) which starred Daniel Wu and Kevin Spacey.
She is the founder of the monthly beauty box subscription 'Glamabox' which is provided in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.[6]
