Now we head to Tyra Banks, a woman whose post-runway fame has so outshone her early career as a supermodel, it's almost pointless telling you where she is now. Because you already know, right? Well, she does still have some surprising recent secrets, but we'll get to those. First, let's talk about where this American beauty got her start, and the foundations of the empire she's so carefully built.
Beginning her career at age 15, Banks shot straight into the dazzling world of fame and supermodelling. She was the first black woman to feature on the covers of GQ and Sports Illustrated - which is no small matter - and was a very awesome Victoria's Secret Angel for eight straight years, from 1997 to 2005. Not to mention her acting career, of course, which by the early 2000s included hits like Fresh Prince, Higher Learning, and Coyote Ugly.
