Image:Playboy July 1988.jpg|thumb|Cindy Crawford on the cover of Playboy, July 1988 Cynthia Ann Crawford (born February 20, 1966) is an United States|American supermodel and actor|actress. Born in DeKalb, Illinois to John Crawford and Jennifer Moluf, her trademark is a visible mole (skin marking)|mole on her face (although most people refer to it as a "beauty mark"). A series of exercise videos that she made were successful; her acting pursuits were not so. She continues to provide celebrity endorsement for a variety of projects. She was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer, who noticed then 16-year old Cindy at work during her summer job of detasselling corn and took a picture of her. The photo and the positive feedback surrounding Cindy's photogenic talents were enough to convince her to quit her day job and take up modelling. Thanks to two summers of modelling, represented by Elite Model Management in Chicago, the All-American beauty proved to also have brains -- she traded in the glamorous life of a model (at least temporarily) to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, on scholarship. The former high school valedictorian pulled off the same exceptional grades in college as in high school, but she didn't stick around long enough to see where a degree in engineering would have taken her. She left school in order to pursue a full-time modelling career. After working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago and becoming a success, Cindy took her supermodel assets to New York City in 1986. From 1989 to 1995, Crawford was host of MTV's House of Style. In 1992, roadside posters of her had to be removed in Norway when authorities noticed a 300% increase in the road accident|accident rate as motorists were distracted by them. In 1995 Crawford took her first film|movie role in Fair Game. Her performance was dismissed by critics, and the greenlighting of a $50 million film on the assumption that she would be a good actress was described in the magazine Total Film in 2004 as the 7th "dumbest decision in movie history". Fair Game took $11 million at the box office. Crawford is just over 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) tall, has a slim, well-toned figure, with brown hair and eyes. Her measurements are 34"-24"-35". She was the first modern supermodel to pose nude for Playboy magazine. She was ranked number 5 on Playboys list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century. She has been featured on the cover of more than 600 magazines worldwide including Vogue magazine|Vogue, W magazine|W, People Magazine|People, Harper's Bazaar, ELLE and Allure. A 1997 Shape (magazine)|Shape magazine survey of 4,000 picked her as the second (after Demi Moore) most beautiful woman in the world. In 2002, Crawford was named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People by People magazine|People magazine. Crawford is now happy in her second marriage to Rande Gerber (club owner) with two young children, Presely & Kaia. Crawford's first marriage to actor Richard Gere lasted from 1991 to 1995. It was heavily rumoured that the marriage was a cover for their mutual homosexuality, but this was denied by both. Gere has also since become a father. During their marriage, the rumors had been further fueled (and mocked) by Crawford when she appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair in a semi-provocative pose with popular and openly lesbian singer k.d. lang in August 1993. In contrast, one of Crawford's last covers was an issue of W (magazine)|W featuring a black-and-white nude of her very-pregnant profile, echoing a similar color cover photo years earlier by Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair in August 1991. Crawford now owns her own production company, Crawdaddy Inc.
