The 1990 Vogue cover image of Cindy Crawford with Naomi, Linda and Tatjana is burned into the public memory - as is the distinctive mole on her top lip, which she was to lick off in a chocolate commercial later in her career.
After a short-lived marriage to Richard Gere (they married in Las Vegas in 1991), in 1998 she married Rande Gerber, an ex-model and owner of the Skybar in LA. Gere came to the wedding. With Gerber she has a son, Presley, and daughter Kaia.Â
Cindy Crawford was one of the first supermodels to diversify her career and present television programmes, act and make fitness videos - as well as pose for Omega, Revlon and others. By 2000 she had dethroned Elle MacPherson as the world’s best paid model - having earned over £23 million at that point.

• Before modelling Cindy Crawford completed part of a Chemical Engineering scholarship at Northwestern University
• It is Lenny Kravitz who is said to have been instrumental in persuading her to make her catwalk comeback in Milan in July 2000 - for Roberto Cavalli, for free Â
• In 2004 she launched an anti-ageing beauty range with Dr Sebagh, called Meaningful Beauty
Cindy Crawford was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer, who noticed then-16-year-old Cindy at work during her summer job of detasseling corn and took a picture of her. The photo and the positive feedback she received were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the John Casablancas Look of the Year contest and was the runner up.
Cindy Crawford graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984, as valedictorian [2] with a 4.0 GPA.[citation needed] She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one quarter. She dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. After working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago, Cindy moved to Manhattan in 1986.
Her brother died at a young age from leukemia, and Crawford has made childhood leukemia a focal point of her charity work, donating proceeds of her calendars to medical research.
