Emily O’Hara Ratajkowski was born on June 7, 1991, in Westminster, London, to American parents Kathleen Anne Balgley and John David “J.D.” Ratajkowski. Ratajkowski grew up in Encinitas, California, which is close to San Diego. Ratajkowski went to UCLA for a year before dropping out to become a full-time model. Her father was raised Roman Catholic, whereas her mother is Jewish. Ratajkowski has stated that she is “Polish-Israeli.” She also has English, Irish, and German ancestors. Before modeling, Ratajkowski dabbled in soccer, acting, and ballet. As a child and young adolescent, Ratajkowski took part in a few local theater productions. During her formative years, Ratajkowski was exposed to the nude female figure in photography and art, including her father’s work, as well as the photography of Helmut Newton and Herb Ritts. “We have this culture of men, especially, watching pornography but then being offended by a classic nude portrait or photograph,” she says. Ratajkowski was also influenced by third-wave feminism and works by Naomi Wolf such as The Beauty Myth and Promiscuities.
Ratajkowski met and signed with a talent agent who contacted Ford Models after being encouraged to do so by an acting coach. At the age of 14, Ratajkowski signed a contract with Ford and later modeled for Kohl’s and Nordstrom’s teen print catalogs. When she was 15, Ratajkowski started going to Disney and iCarly auditions for parts, but bigger roles eluded her because Ratajkowski was frequently stereotyped as a bully or cheerleader. Ratajkowski worked as a model and actress in Los Angeles while going to San Dieguito Academy, a high school in Encinitas.
