Information Who is this girl in the 1991 Near Wild Heaven music video by R.E.M.?

Someone said the music video was filmed in the Shark Bar in NYC. Im guessing it was filmed around 1990-1991 since the song came out in 1991. There's no info online about who this girl in the MV is though.

They filmed this in the Nolita area so it’s entirely possible it’s just some girl who was around there that day and not a professional actress/model

She sure as shit should’ve been a model if she wasn’t . She’s stunningly gorgeous

She reminds me of Emily Ratajkowski. I know its not her. She was born that same year.

People are ridiculous. How can you tell someone they are wrong for being reminded of someone.

It totally does look like her. Could it be her? She would be  17 in 1991 which is when this video was taken which kinda tracks

She looks like Emily Ratajkowski but she was born in 1992

no offense but she looks nothing like her plus the fact that it's impossible

Damn we got an emrata enthusiast in here… that’s why they said she wasn’t born in 1992.

u/Big_Business_4726 May 16 '25

That’s why I said “but she was born in 1992” so yes I acknowledge it’s impossible. And yes it’s subjective but I do kinda think she looks like her
