Sixteen years old Cindy Crawford was earning her summer wages by detasselling corn, when a photographer from a local newspaper snapped her picture. The photograph portrayed a girl of exceptional, all-American beauty, and it generated enough positive feedback to convince Cindy to quit her farm job and spend the summer modeling.
In 1986, having made it big in Chicago, Crawford moved to New York to make it really big. Within two years of arriving in the Big Apple, Crawford had become a genuine supermodel, sashaying down top runways, gracing top magazine covers, attending top parties, and earning top dollars.
Her company, Crawdaddy Inc., was raking in the bulk of its fees from Pepsi, Kay Jewelers, and Revlon, which signed Crawford to a multiyear, seven-figure contract. Before passing her thirtieth birthday, had begun to reposition herself for a post-modelling career. |
