Janice Dickinson - Biography |
|
|
|
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, Dickinson went to New York City and began calling
modeling agencies. It was the 1970s, and the ideal models were blonde
girl-next-door types like Cheryl Tiegs, but Dickinson was a self described
"Polish-mutt niggerlips". She was turned down by Eileen Ford but ended up
going to Paris after Lorraine Bracco told her photographer boyfriend that
she liked Dickinson's look.
She 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, she 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.
After the end of her marriage to Ninja Turtle producer Simon Fields,
Dickinson celebrated, and nine months later had a daughter named Savannah.
She was quoted as saying "In the week I conceived, I had made love with
five different men." Savannah was the subject of a fierce paternity battle
with Sylvester Stallone. He accepted that he was the father until he saw
Savannah's coloring, and DNA testing proved that he was not the father.
Dickinson is now clean and sober. She is a judge on America's Next Top
Model, and a participant on The Surreal Life. |

Janice Dickinson - Personal Quotes |
|
|
|
Get a grip. The idea of the
extreme makeover is disturbing.
Back in the day I was doing runway, editorial, advertising,
spokesmodeling, and public appearances. Those are five different
categories. Your Twiggys and your Lauren Huttons weren't doing that.
I was Versace's muse, I was Valentino's muse, I was Alaia's muse,
Lancetti's muse, Calvin Klein's, Halston's. I could go on and on.
[On her "The Surreal Life" (2003) co-star, Caprice Bourret] Caprice
is not a supermodel. She's some girl who developed a fake accent
after moving to England, like Madonna. |
