[Aussie Pete]

Well, we all have to start somewhere. In this week's gallery, discover what first jobs some of the top celebrities undertook before hitting stardom.

For example, did you know that:

Child labour ... Lucy Liu's enterprising parents put her to work in a pyjama factory when she was just 11 years old.

Easy kinesy ... Eva Longoria graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Kinesiology. Instead of becoming a physical therapist, she entered a talent contest, caught the acting bug and signed on with an agent.

Angelic ... Naomi Campbell's love affair with the camera started as a seven-year-old in Bob Marley's video clip 'Is this Love'.
