Cindy Crawford
Cynthia Ann Crawford (born February 20, 1966) is an American
supermodel and actress. She is best known as a world famous
Supermodel. Born in DeKalb, Illinois, her trademark is
a visible mole on her face (although most people refer
to it as a "beauty mark"). A series of exercise
videos that she made were successful; her acting pursuits
were not so. She continues to provide celebrity endorsement
for a variety
of projects.
From 1989 to 1995, Crawford was host of MTV's House of
Style. In 1992, roadside posters of her had to be removed
in Norway when authorities noticed a 300% increase in
the accident rate as motorists were distracted by them.
In 1995 Crawford took her first movie role in Fair Game.
Her performance was dismissed by critics, and the greenlighting
of a $50 million film on the assumption that she would
be a good actress was described in the magazine Total
Film in 2004 as the 7th "dumbest decision in movie
history". Fair Game took $11 million at the box office.
Crawford is just over 5 feet 9 inches tall and has a
slim, well-toned figure. She was the first modern supermodel
to pose for Playboy magazine. She was ranked number 5
on Playboy's list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th
century. She has been featured on the cover of more than
600 magazines worldwide including Vogue, W, People, Harper's
Bazaar, ELLE and Allure. A 1997 Shape magazine survey
of 4,000 picked her as the second (after Demi Moore) most
beautiful woman in the world.
Crawford is now happy in her second marriage to Randy
Gerber (club owner) with two young children, Presely &
Kaia. Crawford's first marriage to actor Richard Gere
lasted from 1991 to 1995. It was heavily rumoured that
the marriage was a cover for their mutual homosexuality,
but this was denied by both. Gere has also since become
a father. During their marriage, the rumors had been further
fueled (and mocked) by Crawford when she appeared on a
magazine cover in a semi-provocative pose with the popular
and openly homosexual singer k.d. lang. In contrast, one
of Crawford's last covers was an issue of "W"
featuring a black-and-white nude of her very-pregnant
profile, echoing a similar color cover photo years earlier
by Demi Moore in a different magazine.
