Beschreibung | Tyra Lynne Banks (born December 4, 1973), also known as BanX, is an American television personality, model, producer, writer, and actress. Born in Inglewood, California, she began her career as a model at the age of 15, and was the first African-American woman to be featured on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, on which she appeared three times. She was a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1997 to 2005. By the early 2000s, Banks was one of the world's top-earning models. |
I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.
People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.
I don't go to the cool, trendy restaurants. I go to either the holes in the wall or the super-fancy restaurants where there are no cool people.
Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.
My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.
