Cynthia Ann Crawford (born
February 20, 1966) is an American supermodel and actress. She is best
known as a world famous Supermodel. Born in DeKalb, Illinois, her
trademark is a visible mole on her face (although most people refer to
it as a "beauty mark"). A series of exercise videos that she made were
successful; her acting pursuits were not so. She continues to provide
celebrity endorsement for a variety of projects.
From 1989 to 1995, Crawford
was host of MTV's House of Style. In 1992, roadside posters of her had
to be removed in Norway when authorities noticed a 300% increase in the
accident rate as motorists were distracted by them. In 1995 Crawford
took her first movie role in Fair Game. Her performance was dismissed by
critics, and the greenlighting of a $50 million film on the assumption
that she would be a good actress was described in the magazine Total
Film in 2004 as the 7th "dumbest decision in movie history". Fair Game
took $11 million at the box office.
Crawford is just over 5
feet 9 inches (175 cm) tall and has a slim, well-toned figure. She was
the first modern supermodel to pose for Playboy magazine. She was ranked
number 5 on Playboy's list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century.
She has been featured on the cover of more than 600 magazines worldwide
including Vogue, W, People, Harper's Bazaar, ELLE and Allure. A 1997
Shape magazine survey of 4,000 picked her as the second (after Demi
Moore) most beautiful woman in the world.
Crawford is now happy in her second marriage to Randy Gerber (club
owner) with two young children, Presely & Kaia. Crawford's first
marriage to actor Richard Gere lasted from 1991 to 1995. It was heavily
rumoured that the marriage was a cover for their mutual homosexuality,
but this was denied by both. Gere has also since become a father. During
their marriage, the rumors had been further fueled (and mocked) by
Crawford when she appeared on a magazine cover in a semi-provocative
pose with the popular and openly homosexual singer k.d. lang. In
contrast, one of Crawford's last covers was an issue of "W" featuring a
black-and-white nude of her very-pregnant profile, echoing a similar
color cover photo years earlier by Demi Moore in a different magazine.
