Date of Birth :
17 February 1953
Place of Birth :
Brooklyn, New York, USA
Height :
5' 10''
Nationality :
American
Profession :
Model, Actor
Measurements: 34-23-34 (1980s model card) (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
Coined the term "Supermodel" in 1979. She defines the term as
a model who excels in editorial, catalog, advertising, and runway work,
and in being a spokesperson.
Claims to be the first supermodel. However, it is commonly
accepted that there are only five supermodels, and the following list
does not include her: Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, Cindy
Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista.
Janice Dickinson was one of the brashest,
wildest supermodels ever. As the child of a violent, pedophiliac father
and a pill-popping mother, Janice Dickinson grew up hearing her
father's "You'll never amount to nothing!" Determined to become a
raging success, Janice Dickinson went to New York City and began
calling modeling agencies. It was the 1970s, and the ideal models were
blond "girls next door" like Cheryl Tiegs, but Janice Dickinson was a
self described "Polish-mutt n----rlips." She was turned down by Eileen
Ford -- "Those lips!" -- but ended up going to Paris after Lorraine
Bracco told her photographer boyfriend that she liked Dickinson's look.
Janice Dickinson became a huge success in Europe, and returned to New
York City in 1978. It was the era of Studio 54 and Dickinson partied
with the likes of Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, and John Belushi. She
seduced the most famous ladies' men, drank every drink and snorted or
inhaled every drug. While foggy headed, Janice Dickinson fell off a
catwalk and onto Sophia Loren. Dickinson took revenge on Ford by
signing with her agency and then jumping ship to Elite when she became
established in the US. On her way out the door, she reportedly told
Ford, "It's me, big-lipped Janice. I'm going to Elite. I don't like
you, I've never liked you."

She is 54 now after all and has held up pretty well with the plastic surgery. Here is a pic from her back in the day. http://allthatsfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/janice-dickinson.jpg
