Before you write-off Courtney Stodden as just another pretty, yet weirdly hardened face, take a moment to at least acknowledge the arduous path the upcoming star of Couples Therapy trampled before soaring like the spread eagle we know today.

Courtney first broke into showbiz as a humble coffee-fetching intern on this Beverly Hills driveway, where sometimes the hours were so grueling she didn't even have time to change into her business bikini!

After wobbling from one Craigslist modeling audition to the next, her feet were so callused, she had to keep them in the air for an entire month!

In an attempt to impress eco-friendly Hollywood execs, Courtney let no waste go to waste, and gave everything she had to fertilizing this pumpkin patch the old-fashioned way.

But it wasn't all spray tan and g-strings for Courtney. When she finally landed a spot in Santa's Workshop For Aspiring Actors, she was crushed to find out that Santa was actually Glamour Shots enthusiast Doug Hutchison.

Then, Courtney increased her chances for success by working with a likeminded group who also enjoyed getting naked for no reason.

If Courtney has any words of wisdom for aspiring reality show stars, it's that success is one percent inspiration, and ninety-nine percent artificial, glycerin-based perspiration!
