According
to Nell McAndrew, "Dressing up
like Lara Croft was my job between
1996 and 1997. Being the real life
version of the character took me all
over the world to promote Tomb Raider
3. My favourite place was Nashville,
Tennessee. It was there I met Elvis
himself, or so I thought, until I
came across another Elvis at the same
place. Sydney was a close second,
where we stayed at the Ritz in Double
Bay."
"I
loved visiting our Armed Forces and
have been named the 'Forces Sweetheart'.
My visits have included the HMS Ark
Royal, several bases in Northern Ireland,
Germany and all over the UK. I made
two visits in May and December 2003
to boost morale for our troops. On
both occasions I personally met around
3000 people. It was an emotional experience
and I am really glad I did it. I just
wish I could bring them all back home
with me."
The
model from Leeds lent her body to
Eidos in 1996 and travelled the globe
promoting Tomb
Raider 3: Adventures of Lara Croft.
She is still considered by many as
the most successful and popular model
to fill the boots of Lara Croft.
