Cindy Crawford has revealed the misconceptions her father, John Crawford, held about the modeling industry. According to Crawford, her father didn't fully grasp that modeling was a legitimate profession and thought of it as something akin to prostitution. In a new Apple TV+ documentary series titled «The Super Models,» 57-year-old Crawford shared that modeling was not something she initially considered as a career. Crawford revealed that her father had thought modelling was another name for prostitution. In a 2016 interview with Vanity Fair, the supermodel recounted how her modeling journey began when she had her first portrait taken at the age of 16. This experience sparked her interest in pursuing a career in modeling. Crawford, who grew up in Illinois, was spotted by a local photographer during her teenage years and later signed with a small agency that was eventually acquired by Elite Model Management. Despite graduating as valedictorian from high school and enrolling in Northwestern University, Crawford made the decision to drop out after her first semester to pursue a modeling career. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Crawford became an iconic figure on the runways, establishing herself as one of the most recognizable faces of her generation. «The Super Models» is set to premiere on September 20. It's worth noting that Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia, aged 22, and son, Presley, aged 24, both pursue careers in modeling, following in their mother's footsteps. Cindy Crawford shares her children with her husband, Rande Gerber.
