Jessica Hart is an Australian model who appeared in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. By some accounts, she was born in Sydney, Australia, while others assert she was born in Melbourne, Australia. She is known for a gap-tooth smile. She was discovered in Melbourne and has appeared on the cover of Australian Vogue. Hart shot her Swimsuit Issue photos in Mexico in November 2008.

Hart attended Sophia Mundi Rudolph Steiner School in Collingwood, Victoria until she was noticed at the age of 15 at a local shopping center. Another story of her rise to fame has her entering into a modeling competition hosted by Dolly Magazine in 2000 because her aunt or a friend convinced her to.
