Fun fact
Was so iconic that George Michael featured her in his 'Freedom! '90' music video alongside Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington.
The verdict
Raised in St. Catharines, Ontario, she became one of the original supermodels who defined the '90s runway. She's famously Canadian-proud, once declaring she wouldn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 — but she'd probably do it for a Tim Hortons run, eh.
