Melanie Peres height - How tall is Melanie Peres?

In a 2011 interview with Haaretz, Peres mentioned enjoying horses and life away from the modeling world, but is still open to acting gigs.

In 2010, Peres starred as Naomi in Eitan Zur's film Hitparzut X (Naomi), written by bestselling author and theater director Edna Mazia. Naomi was selected in the Critics' Week category at the 67th Venice Film Festival in 2010.

In 2009, Peres teamed up with producer Oriana Givoli-Gniger, a former colleague in the modeling industry, on Tevat Noah (Noah's Ark), a TV series about group therapy, where she plays a lead opposite Mark Ivanir. Givoli-Gniger remarked, "When I read the role of Asia, I told Rani Blair immediately that it had to be Melanie, and I persisted. There is no greater joy than getting a good friend to do a significant role that fits her so perfectly."

In 2008, Peres did a cover of the Tears for Fears song "Mad World", which was produced by Assaf Amdursky for the soundtrack of Reshef Levi's film Lost Islands. She was also voted Israel's Sexiest Woman.

In 2007, Peres met actor Itay Tiran, who is eight years her junior. The couple married on October 31, 2008. They live in central Tel Aviv.

In 2006, the Israeli fashion brand Honigman asked her to represent their firm. Peres modeled and presented for them for over six seasons, and designed an eponymous clothing line for their spring-summer collection. Honigman had planned to market her line in a method much like Kate Moss.

In 1998, Peres sang a duet with Yahli Sobol called "Hodaot" (Hebrew: הודעות ‎; "Messages"). In 2000, she made her acting debut with a lead role in the TV movie Abbaleh. She made several guest appearances on Israeli television in series such as Ha Burganim (The Bourgeoisie), and Tik Sagur (Case Closed).

At 16, Peres quit school and moved from Nazareth to Tel Aviv, where she worked as a cleaner and a waitress until she began modeling in 1989. At 17, she appeared on the cover of the Israeli magazine La Ischa. She participated in the Israeli beauty contest "Face of the 80's." Although she did not win, she quickly became a rising star in the Israeli fashion world. The photographers loved her chameleon-like ability to change from assignment to assignment. Raz Yuvan of Haaretz remarked, "Over the years, she advanced from modeling bathing suits to the top of the industry." As a model, she traveled around the world, and worked in the industry for over 20 years. In a Haaretz interview, she said, "When I was young and people would ask me what I did, I used to answer: 'I work in the meat market.' I was embarrassed to make money from posing, and especially troubled by the fact that I lacked a proper education; but I had to work and couldn't support myself and study at the same time." Nevertheless, she acknowledged that modeling saved her life, since she had no financial support from her parents. She said, "I assume every profession has pluses and minuses. It enabled me to live and to live well - it gave me a good career, a lot of confidence in certain things, and it opened doors for me."
