Lisa D'Amato is an American fashion model from Los Angeles, California. Lisa mentioned on Top Model that she is Italian. She was a contestant on the 5th cycle of America's Next Top Model, and finished in sixth place. In the show, she was remembered as the girl with the most outrageous personality. Lisa was shown by cameras to be a drinker and behaved in manners some might consider bizarre; among the strangest of these included having philosophical "conversations" with a bush she affectionately named Cousin It and urinating in an adult diaper in front of the other contestants.
The Top Model judges made a rather controversial move when they eliminated Lisa seventh for being too lively, although her pictures and personality had always been considered some of the strongest of the other contestants.
In her interview with Fansofrealitytv.com, linked in the external links section, Lisa reported on an interesting incident that took place during the phonebooth shoot. She said that the art director, Jay Manuel, stopped the shoot so that the other models could see Lisa's frames, as they were the strongest. He then gave each model, except Lisa, an additional ten frames, providing them with an advantage.

On her MySpace, Lisa talked about her modeling career before the show. Lisa was once signed with Nous Models.

She walked the runway shows for Vera Wang, Barneys NY, Guess, Vertigo, Rock and Republic, Cornell Collins, GenArt, Jared Gold, and Sebastians Int. Lisa was in commercials for Coca-cola, Gap, and H&M.
