A staple of the late 70s and early 80s model scene alongside the likes
of Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley, she retired from the business but re-emerged in
1992 when Calvin Klein made her, at 40, the new look of his clothing
line.
Never wanted to be a model, a job she had called "prissy and stupid",
but wanted to finance dance classes so rather than being discovered she
approached star maker Eileen Ford directly and began working
immediately.
She graduated from the Purnell School and attended Pine Manor College.
