Josie Maran on AllMovie

An ever-present face on the cover of nearly every mainstream American magazine from Elle to Vogue, très-photogenic model/actress Josie Maran segued effortlessly from print work to filmed work with winning roles in such features as The Aviator, Little Black Book, and Van Helsing (all 2004). She recharged her celebrity in the fall of 2007, via participation in season five of the popular ABC competitive reality series Dancing With the Stars. On that program, Maran danced opposite partner Alec Mazo; unfortunately, they were the first pair to be eliminated.
