Lisa Marie D'Amato (born October 22, 1980) is an American recording artist, fashion model and television personality from Los Angeles. She first came into the public eye as a participant on Cycle 5 of the television series America's Next Top Model, being the eighth eliminated, and eventually went on to win Cycle 17: All Stars.
 D'Amato was born in Los Angeles, California. Her parents divorced when she was seven, with her mother raising her as a single parent. D'Amato started modeling at the age of 12.
 D'Amato claims to have been dared to send in an audition tape to America's Next Top Model because her friends were obsessed with the show. After a year of persuasion, she decided to participate in the program realizing she had nothing to lose.
 D'Amato was the last (thirteenth) girl (edited as the second last (twelfth) girl called and followed by Ebony Taylor when aired) selected for the top thirteen to compete on the UPN reality television show America's Next Top Model Cycle 5. On the show, D'Amato soon became known as the "most notorious" of the models, not scared to speak her mind to the other contestants. She explained that this support truly comes from her heart because she wants other models to look their best, especially on national television. D'Amato cites having been abused as a child as the reason for her hard-hitting, survivalist attitude. She shocked the other models by urinating in a diaper while on a shoot which Nicole Linkletter was disgusted about. D'Amato would run around with wigs, masks, and weird outfits; and once had a long conversation with a Pampas Grass bush she named "Cousin It". Over her stay, D'Amato won two challenges, received one Covergirl of the Week award, received one first call-out and two second call-outs.
 The judges eliminated D'Amato seventh ( since fellow contestant Cassandra Jean quit the competition in episode four) in London during her only ever bottom two appearance which Jayla Rubinelli had survived for the second consecutive time. D'Amato has been identified since cycle 5 as one of the most memorable contestants due to her entertaining personality, unconventional beauty, penchant for melodrama, and strong fan base.
 D'Amato appeared as an assistant in a Cycle 6 episode where the top ten girls received lessons on commercial and high-fashion posing from Janice Dickinson.
 After her first appearance on the show, D'Amato was selected to return to America's Next Top Model along with former fellow contestant Bre Scullark to both represent their Cycle together on the first All-Star edition of the show along with twelve other returning models from past America's Next Top Model cycles. D'Amato's seemingly off the wall antics secured her spot on this season of the show and aided in her journey to the top. Like all the other contestants on Cycle 17, D'Amato was given a branding word: "daring". Using this key term, she presented herself on the show accordingly; wearing bold outfits for panel, expressing her extroverted personality and molding the challenges to fit her image. During her time on the show, she developed her own perfume called "Neon", performed in a music video for her song "I Be Like Whoa", won three challenges, received three first call-outs, survived her first bottom two appearance over Camille McDonald from Cycle 2 and was part of a non-elimination bottom two with former Cycle 12 semifinalist and Cycle 14 contestant Angelea Preston. On December 7, 2011, D'Amato won over fellow finalist Allison Harvard from Cycle 12 who was the runner-up in both of her cycles. D'Amato is the second girl (after America's Next Top Model Cycle 8 Winner Jaslene Gonzalez) in the show's history to compete on more than one cycle and win. This win also makes D'Amato the oldest winner at the age of 30.
 D'Amato appeared in episode six of Cycle 18: British Invasion to inform the top nine models that they will have to perform in a group music video representing their country. The former Britain's Next Top Model girls performing were Catherine Thomas of Cycle 4, Annaliese Dayes, and eventual cycle winner Sophie Sumner both of Cycle 5, and Alisha White of Cycle 6. The American girls performing were Kyle Gober, Seymone Cohen-Fobish, Laura LaFrate, Eboni Davis and eventual eliminee from this episode AzMarie Livingston.
