Biography of Tyra Banks | ||||
|
Striking good looks, slender figure, and sharp features with a prominent forehead have turned Tyra Banks into one of the most sought after models in the world.
Before she became a big time model she was rejected several times until she was discovered by Elite Model Management while she was at Loyola Marymount College. Since then there was no turning back for this undaunted lady, who was determined to make it big in the model world. From there her modeling career zoomed off to glorious heights with prominent modeling assignments like most notably Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and Victoria's Secret. The stunning black beauty became the first African-American to feature twice on the cover of the Sports Illustrator’s swimsuit issue consecutively in 1996 and 1997. She also won the prestigious Michael Award for "Supermodel of the Year". The eminent TIME Magazine has also named her as one of the world's 200 most influential people in 2006.
