Although retiring in 1998 and making a minor comeback three years later, Linda hasn't really turned her hand to many other projects. She knows what she's good at, and hasn't made a million fragrances, clothing lines, and TV appearances like her fellow models. Instead, she's been doing the occasional shoot and inspiring a whole new generation of glamorous ladies.
While her career might be as solid as a rock, her personal life has been quite the rollercoaster ride. She's only been married once, back in 1987 until 1993, but has dated a string of big names then, including Twin Peaks actor Kyle MacLachlan and French football player Fabian Barthez. She had a child in 2006 to a mystery father, later revealed to be billionaire François-Henri Pinault - the husband of Salma Hayek.
