Part Pakistani, part German, and all Canadian, the Montreal-born-and-raised Yasmeen Ghauri was one of the top models of the early 1990s.
And that was a big deal at the time, as the modeling profession began to produce more divas than stars. Yasmeen Ghauri was a star, by all means, as the above photo from Cosmopolitan's October 1992 issue demonstrates.
She was a spokesmodel for Chanel, Christian Dior, Valentino, and Anne Klein at about the same time, and she appeared on the cover of Elle and in editorials for the British and Italian editions of Vogue.
And by 1996, after about six years in the spotlight, it was all over. She retired to raise a family . . . at the ripe old age of 25. Like Marciano - Rocky, not Georges - she knew when to quit and she went out on top.
Fun fact: Yasmeen Ghauri's first major appearance anywhere was in the promotional video for Elton John's single "Sacrifice," where she was paired with singer Chris Isaak. She was not yet twenty.

Hi, I'm not sure if you read my comment. My question is in regard with Yasmeen Ghauri and her appearance in music video of "Sacrifice" Elton John. I wonder are you positive that Yasmeen appeared in that video? I appreciate your reply.
Sorry to get back to you so late. Yes, it's her.
Thank you so much for your reply.It means a lot to me.I've be doing archival research about Yasmeen. At first I was not sure it is really her in the video, because she looked different.May I aske you who is the actor in the video and what's the story line?
The other actor in the video is singer Chris Isaak. The storyline seems to be about a gradual separation of couple.
Thank you.
Is the story refers to couple separation because of man's infidelity? or... ?
Based on the lyrics of the song, it must refer to infidelity.
The opening lyrics talk about it.But the video is confusing to me.Because looks like she leaves her partner and her child and the man is in charge of their daughter. It makes no sense a man is cheating and the woman leaves her child to him.. Unless I did not understand it.
I tend to pay more attention to the words of the song than the promotional video for it. Promotional videos are just meant to do that - promote a record. It's easier just to listen to the song and find your own meaning in it, and Bernie Taupin has written a lot of lyrics that are open to numerous interpretations.
