When we are speaking about Adriana Toro, the first thing that comes into our minds is her stunning face and slim body. She has been cast in a number of films and shows, most notable as a sex symbol in the movie, Pretty Woman. But most people remember her for her role as partner of Bruce Willis in the Die Hard series. She played with guts in the movie and still proved to be a cut above the rest.

The character of Adriana Toro was born as Ilha de Queimada in Brazil. Her parents were originally from Peru and Bolivia. Growing up in Brazil, she became an accomplished actress in her own right, working with famous directors like Jean Sheppard and Richard Brooks. It was through this theatre career that she also developed a love affair for modeling, first appearing in ads for Calvin Klein, posing with other celebrities, and finally joining the elite cast of The New York Modelmakers.

In the late eighties, she married Freddy de la Renta, whom she had met while appearing in a Paris fashion show. Their marriage lasted for twenty-two years, during which time she gave birth to their son, Thierry Leon. Freddy de la Renta was a well-known designer in his own right, so it was not a bad choice for Adriana Toro to marry him. After their marriage, they had three children, aged fifteen, twelve, and eight, and kept the marital bed open for two more decades. Eventually, they decided to part ways, and Adriana took up the hobbies of painting and traveling.
