Cynthia Ann Crawford is a American supermodel, MTV television
personality, celebrity endorser, cover girl, & actress.
Born in DeKalb,
Illinois, to Dan Crawford & Jennifer Crawford in 1966, Cindy Crawford's trademark
is a visible mole on her face (although most people refer to it as a "beauty
mark"). She is so closely associated with this physical feature that she
appeared in an advertising campaign for chocolates featuring commercials wherein
she "licked off" her own mole. Ironically, the mole was removed from
many of her earlier modeling pictures, including her first Vogue magazine cover.
Her brother died at a young age from leukemia, & Crawford has made childhood
leukemia a focal point of her charity work, donating proceeds of her calendars
to medical research.
She was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer,
who noticed then-16-year-old Cindy at work during her summer job of pollinating
corn & took a picture of her. The photo & the positive feedback she received
were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the John Casablancas
Look of the Year contest & was the runner up.
Crawford graduated from high
school as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA. She won an academic scholarship to study
chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one
quarter. She dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. After
working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago, Cindy moved to Manhattan
in 1986.
From 1989 to 1995, Crawford was host of MTV's House of Style. In the
mid-1990s Crawford starred in famous Pepsi & Pepsi Stuff advertising. In 1995
Crawford took her first movie role in Fair Game. Her performance was panned by
critics, & the film was a financial failure, with expenses of $50 million
& $11 million takings at the box office. She has had several other minor acting
jobs since then, none of which have been commercially or critically successful.
The closest she has come to a commercially successful acting job has been her
series of exercise videos.
Crawford is just over 5 feet 9 inches (177 cm) tall,
with brown hair & eyes. Her measurements are 34"-24"-35". During
the 1980s & 1990s, Cindy was among the most popular supermodels, a ubiquitous
presence on magazine covers, runways, & in fashion campaigns. She was the
first modern supermodel to pose nude for Playboy magazine, in a shoot by photographer
Herb Ritts.
She has been featured on the cover of more than 600 magazines worldwide
including Vogue, W, People, Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, "Cosmopolitan", &
Allure. Cindy also appeared in many fashion campaigns during her career, including
those for Gianni Versace, Escada, etc. Of her, famous designer Karl Lagerfeld
has said: "She is a classical beauty & the all-American dream girl."
She was nicknamed "Baby Gia" when she entered the modeling industry
because of her resemblance to late supermodel, Gia Carangi.
She was ranked
number 5 on Playboy's list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century. A 1997
Shape magazine survey of 4,000 picked her as the second (after Demi Moore) most
beautiful woman in the world. In 2002, Crawford was named one of the 50 Most Beautiful
People by People magazine.
She continues to provide celebrity endorsement for
a variety of projects & was featured as #26 in the 2006 Hot 100 issue of Maxim
magazine.
Crawford's marriage to actor Richard Gere lasted from 1991 to 1995.
It was heavily rumored that the marriage was a cover for his homosexuality, but
this was denied by both. During their marriage, the rumors had been further fueled
(and mocked) by Crawford when she appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in a semiprovocative
pose with lesbian singer k.d. lang in August 1993.
Crawford & current husband
Rande Gerber have two children, Presley, born July 2, 1999, & Kaya, born September
3, 2001. Crawford gave birth to both her children through natural home birth.
Crawford
owns her own production company, Crawdaddy Inc.
