Judy Goss began her career in the fashion/entertainment industry 20 years ago as a high fashion model for Ford Models in New York City. Traveling extensively around the world, she worked in all facets of the business nationally and internationally as a model and actor, including magazines, runway, campaigns, advertising, television sitcoms and commercials and is still a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild today.
After an extremely successful career as a model, Judy landed a job in New York City as a casting director/art buyer for a high-end advertising agency. Besides casting for models, photographers, stylists, and hair and make-up talent for catalogue and advertising clients such as Bloomingdale’s, Dillard’s and Espirit, she produced their photo shoots in the studio and on location nationally and internationally.
From casting and producing she went on to become a highly regarded modeling agent at New York Model Management on their editorial board, then moved to Ford Models and worked as an agent on their editorial/celebrity board which included models such as Stephanie Seymour, Christie Brinkley, Naomi Campbell and Jerry Hall.
Judy has also recently been involved in casting some of the world’s top models for select fashion shows who participated in New York City's fashion show week during spring of 2007. That job led to a position as Bookings Editor for Cosmopolitan Magazine’s yearly Style and Beauty Issue for Summer/Fall 2007.
Judy currently works full-time as Castings and Bookings Editor for More Magazine in New York City booking hair, make-up, models and celebrities. After two months with More Magazine, she was selected to be the spokesperson for their national “40+ Model Search” in tandem with Wilhelmina Models. Spokesperson duties for the search included live and taped interviews with newspapers, satellite media and network and cable television shows across the nation.
Besides her full-time position at More Magazine, Judy has recently appeared in a live national television segment as a "Lifestyle and Trend Expert" for ABC News, and has also been interviewed live recently by ABC, NBC, Fox 5, KTLA and the “Cooper Lawrence Show.”
Additionally, Judy has been interviewed by several cable channels, websites, newspapers, and national magazines across the country about the modeling industry and also speaks across the nation in front of live audiences about the topic of modeling.
Judy wrote a book published by St. Martin’s Press about the modeling industry called Break Into Modeling for Under $20 which is her own unique four-step process of breaking into the modeling industry. She also speaks out in the book against paying unnecessary fees to break into modeling, as well as tips before and after someone gets representation. It will be in bookstores July 2008.
Judy is a certified volunteer for the New York chapter of Make-a-Wish Foundation.
