Career
Early life
Buck was born 27 May 1972 in Medford, Massachusetts. She attended the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School where she cultivated a punk rock style donning many piercings, wearing flannels, ripped jeans, and Doc Martens. Upon modeling, a local photographer convinced her to be more natural. It wasn't until she moved to Paris that she embraced her rock-style by dying her hair bright red using Manic Panic's Pillar Box Red. Initially, she lost jobs such as a campaign for Nina Ricci but decided to say true to her roots despite losing $20,000 pay day. The gamble took off as she became a favorite model for Jean Paul Gaultier. Additionally, she worked for clients such Perry Ellis, Yves Saint-Laurent, Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, and many other fashion houses.
Television and Film
In 1995, Buck became a television presenter for MTV's The Pulse. Buck also acted, playing the personal assistant of Zorg in the 1997 film, The Fifth Element.
Music career
Buck took a break from the modeling industry in 1998 when she became a mother and began playing rock music in bands. She played bass and sang in Champions of Sound with Chris Traynor of Orange 9mm and Helmet, and with Sergio Vega of Quicksand. In 2007 she recorded and performed with Joseph Arthur as a member of his backing band The Lonely Astronauts, appearing on his Let's Just Be, Temporary People, and The Graduation Ceremony albums. Buck played bass guitar for Bush in 2012, filling in for Corey Britz for a few shows. She is currently performing with the band High Desert Fires, and appears on the debut album Light Is the Revelation.
