Toneya Bird

It's a bit hard to find info on Toneya these days but she was a fairly major model in Oz back in the late '80s, early '90s.

She rose to fame via a fantastic TV commercial that aired in '89/'90 and is still remembered today (see below - the phrase "sic 'em Rex" entered the country's vernacular). After modelling for a few years here she moved to Europe but soon married a Norwegian prince and pretty much stopped modelling. The marriage didn't last very long however, and after the divorce she had a child with an Austrian prince (as you do!). They later married. As far as I know they still live in Vienna.
