Where Are They Now? Anna Kournikova
By Wyatt Earp | July 10, 2008
Who cares? She’s still really hot!
It’s 1998 and I’m trying to interview Anna Kournikova. It’s a bit like attempting to secure an audience with a world leader, which, Kournikova’s handlers would have you believe, she is. Billed as “the most downloaded female on the planet,” Kournikova is flanked by a battalion of handlers, agents, managers and other assorted obstructionists.
And ten years later?
It’s 2008 and I’m trying to interview Anna Kournikova. Half an hour before the appointed meeting time, my cellphone chirps. Chastened by experience, I steel myself for a call apologizing for a last-minute change of plans. But, no, it’s Anna — on an unblocked number — confirming that she’s running on schedule and if I’m having trouble finding a parking space at the Starbucks where we’re scheduled to meet, I can always park at the adjacent Whole Foods. She arrives alone, pulling up in a tasteful but hardly ostentatious ride. She makes eye contact. She chews no gum. Ninety minutes into what is more a conversation than an interview, she is still going strong. No, I’m forced to admit, I have not read the book Eat, Pray, Love. “You really should,” she says. “It’s spiritual, but well-written at the same time.” (H/T – SportsIllustrated)
Yeah, that’s swell. I gotta be honest. The only reason I posted this was to give myself an excuse to post a picture of Anna. I didn’t even read the article. Sue me.
