Cindy Crawford

The lucky lady was accidentally discovered while working on a corn farm at the age of 16.  Cindy slipped in to modeling gaining her breakthrough as a Look Of The Year finalist of the Elite Model Management in Chicago. She flew off to New York with this accomplishment and with a new found courage. Within a couple of years, Cindy was able to walk the runways with other supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Linda Evangelista.

Cindy created sensation as the first modern supermodel showcased in Hugh Hefner's Playboy Magazine in 1988. Posing topless Cindy commented, "I don't mind if someone thinks a picture of me decorates their wall nicely.” Playboy magazine named Cindy as one of its top ten Sexiest Stars of the Century in 1998. Cindy also gained a few raised eyebrows for posing for a Vanity Fair cover with lesbian singer K.D. Lang.

A shrewd business woman, Cindy commercially markets anything from swimsuit calendars to exercise videos. She invested in Planet Hollywood and founded her own company, Crawdaddy Inc. She has earned millions by working with multi national companies like Revlon, Pepsi, and Kay Jewelers. She's modeled for JH Collectibles, Capezio Bags and did lingerie posters for Hennes & Mauritz in Europe. The latest feather she added to her cap was publishing her book Cindy Crawford's Basic Face: A Makeup Workbook. She has also marketed fitness and aerobic videos beginning in 1992. Cindy Crawford/Shape Your Body Workout hit the top of charts and has sold more than 2 million copies in the United States alone.

The next step for the mega model was to host MTV's House of Style (1989 -1995). Cindy also worked as a host for the 1992's Fox TV's Concert for Life.  She also made appearances in Later (1997), 3rd Rock from the Sun (1998) and then hosted ABC's Sex with Cindy Crawford (1998). She also produced Presley's First Year, a series about her child’s growth and development. She has had the honor of interviewing sBC's Sex with Cindyuch celebrities as Shaquille O'Neal and Rosie O'Donnell.

Apart from her film Fair Game (1995), Cindy has also worked in Unzipped (1995), Catwalk (1995), and Beautopia (1998) as well as having a small part in the films The Secret of My Success (1987) and Sesame Street: Elmopalooza.

Cindy has walked the ramp for the best of the brands. In 1995 Crawford was named the highest paid model by Forbes magazine. Cindy triumphed over Elle Macpherson, with whom she had a neck to neck competition to become the world's best-paid model in the 1990's.
