Cindy Crawford is an American supermodel, MTV television personality, celebrity endorser, sex symbol, cover girl, and actress. Born in DeKalb, Illinois to John Crawford and Jennifer Moluf in 1966, Cindy Crawford's trademark is a visible mole on her face (although most people refer to it as a "beauty mark"). Her brother died at a young age from leukemia, and Crawford has made childhood leukemia a focal point of her charity work, donating proceeds of her calendars to medical research.She was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer, who noticed then-16-year-old Cindy at work during her summer job of pollinating corn and took a picture of her. The photo and the positive feedback she received were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the John Casablancas Look of the Year contest and was the runner up.Crawford graduated from high school as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA. She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one quarter. She dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. After working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago, Cindy moved to New York City in 1986.
