Supermodels Who Became Famous The Year You Were Born

8. Janice Dickinson – 1977

Janice Dickinson

At the time when the fashion and modeling industry was populated with blue-eyed blondes, Janice Dickinson stepped out and made her statement. Unfortunately, a lot of modeling agencies rejected her at the time, and it was not until she moved to Paris that her true beauty caught the fashion world. Eventually, she returned to the United States and was signed by one of the very agencies that rejected her from the onset – Ford Models. She quickly rose to prominence in the new location and later appeared on the covers of lots of prominent magazines like Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Marie Claire, Playboy, and more. In addition to being a model, she is a fashion photographer and an entrepreneur where she designs and sells her jewelry.
