From De Kalb, Illinois, Cindy Crawford was born
on February 20, 1966. She was a student at Northwestern when she
was "discovered" in a mall by a photographer who suggested
she try modeling. Signing her first contract in 1984, she initially
used the money to augment her scholarship at Northwestern. Many
of her modeling contracts have been those with Revlon, J. H. Collectibles
and Pepsi-Cola. She has hosted MTV's House of Style, appeared on
the cover of numerous mag- azines, and has made several exercise
videos in addition to her career as a model.
