Mollie Sue started out as a strong contender on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 6. Prior to her elimination on the fifth week, Mollie Sue had been able to produce quality photographs and had never once landed on the bottom two. However, as the competition got harder and as the number of the girls became smaller, Mollie Sue slowly lost her edge over the other girls, until finally, after the CoverGirl commercial shoot where the girls had to use what they learned from an improvisational class at The Groundlings, the judges decided to send Mollie Sue home for her failure to express her own true "persona" in her pictures.
After appearing on the show, Mollie has gone on to become an international modeling sensation. She relocated to Paris, France, where she was featured as one of Paris' Top Models in Photo Magazine. In January 2007, Mollie Sue received contracts from popular modeling in Spain and Denmark. She is also set to grace the pages of French Cosmopolitan.
