American Supermodel Cindy Crawford chronicles her life and career, sharing stories and lessons learned, and featuring memorable images. She graduated from DeKalb, Illinois High School in 1984, winning an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, but in her first year, she dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. She soon became the cornerstone of the golden age of the supermodel in the 1990s. In 1995, Forbes magazine named her the highest paid model on the planet. Crawford is known for her trademark mole just above her lip, and has appeared on hundreds of magazine covers throughout her career.She blazed a trail during the 1990s, seamlessly moving between the runway to unconventional outlets, such as cutting-edge MTV music videos, Super Bowl commercials, and even Playboy magazine. On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Crawford looks back on her remarkable career and life lessons she absorbed. She discusses her earliest modeling years and learning how to become less self-conscious in front of a camera; trusting her own instincts about creating positive messages about a healthy and strong body image that she knew would reach women of all ages; her feelings about becoming a wife and a mother; and her thoughts about turning fifty and what she would tell her younger self if she had the chance. The photographs span her entire career, beginning from the mid 1980s.
