Cindy Crawford

Cynthia Ann Crawford was born 20th February 1966. She is an American model, actress, and television personality. In the 1980s and 1990s she was one of the most popular supermodels , and was a regular on magazine covers and runways as well as on fashion-related campaigns. The following years she began to expand her acting abilities and entered into business. In her sophomore year in high school, she received a call from a local clothing shop for modeling jobs and was shocked to find out it was a joke by two of her peers. Crawford was hired by another retailer the following year to model for them. Also, they had an fashion shoot. In her junior year, local photographer Roger Legel, whose duties included photographing another college girl to be the week's coed in DeKalb Nite Weekly, asked to photograph Crawford for the magazine; the result was her first ever cover. [9] The photo and the positive comments received from her were enough to encourage her to begin modeling. She began with an agency of a smaller size. Elite Model Management bought it soon after she signed. At 17 years old she took part in Elite's Look of the Year contest and was able to make it to the national finals.
