Guess who got straight A's in high school and won a scholarship to Northwestern University? Guess who dropped out of college and went on to make millions of dollars? Guess who's better-looking than you or me? Yup, Cindy Crawford. Who said that life was fair? This entry from the Intimate Portrait series, which airs on the Lifetime channel, not only shows us the world of fashion supermodels but traces the ups and downs of Crawford's life, from the death of her little brother and her parents' divorce, to her decision to drop out of college for a modeling career (based on the simple fact that a model has only so many optimum years while college can be attended at any time) and her subsequent superstardom. Ms. Crawford is, first and foremost, a businesswoman who understands her job perfectly and is a complete professional, although she has run into instances of the old cliché that beauty is both a blessing and a curse. When you're an attractive woman, people tend not to take you seriously even if you possess brains and business sense, but Cindy Crawford seems to have accepted her lot in life with equanimity (of course). Ambitious model wannabes would do well to watch this video to get an understanding of the hard work and luck required to make a go of it in the fashion world. Recommended. Other supermodels covered in the Intimate Portrait series include: Christie Brinkley, Lauren Hutton and Iman. Aud. P. (S. Fisher)
