"Lara Croft." Weller donned the famous<em>Tomb Raider</em> duds from 1999-2000, during the promotion of <em>Last Revelation</em>, and is probably the closestphysical approximation to gaming's <ahref="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/07/lara-croft-lands-in-guinness-book-of-world-records/">most successful</a>heroine of all time. She shares not only the same first name with her agile avatar, but also certain physicalattributes and a passion for world travel.<br /><br />Five other models have portrayed Lara Croft for Eidos (six, ifyou count Angelina). <ahref="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/02/15/new-lara-croft-chosen-to-represent-the-raider-for-eidos/">Karima Adebibe</a> isthe latest, and Jill de Jong gets props for her depiction of the <em>Angel of Darkness</em>.
