Cindy Crawford



Cynthia Ann Crawford was born in DeKalb, Illinois on February 20, 1966. Her entry into the world of fashion was purely accidental; a local photojournalist was passing by the place where she was working on her summer job and took a picture of her pollinating corn. She was only 16 years old then. The photograph became a sensation and gave her the courage to join the Look of the Year contest in 1982, where she placed runner up.

Cindy Crawford is a beauty with brains. She graduated high school as the class valedictorian and earned an academic scholarship to Northwestern University, where she studied chemical engineering. However, she dropped out of college after one short quarter in order to pursue modeling full-time. She then became a staple of runways and fashion shoots, becoming one of the most popular supermodels in the 80s and the 90s. Cindy Crawford became one of the first celebrities that became synonymous with the Pepsi Stuff marketing campaign, and was also the first supermodel to pose nude for Playboy.
