Cindy Crawford was one of those models who perfectly encapsulated the word "siren". Limitless sex appeal and a playful attitude made her one jaw-dropping heartthrob who lit up both the runway and the glossy rags of the 90s. No other model had ever come close to her cool sauciness, and none have come close since. In a career spanning high fashion and stellar acting roles, she's done it all.
Born Cynthia Ann Crawford in Illinois, 1966, she took up modelling for real after a practical joke by her classmates set up a bogus call from a local clothing store. As it turned out, another clothing store was actually looking for models, and Crawford was snapped up at once. After coming runner-up in Elite Management's Look Of The Year, the stage was set for her triumphant rise in the fashion world.
