This self-declared "world's first supermodel" fascinated (and horrified) TV audiences with her outrageous antics as a bitchy judge on four seasons of
America's Next Top Model and as an unruly housemate on
The Surreal Life in 2005. With pouty lips and dark exotic features, Dickinson was a '70s party girl who spent the decade drinking, drugging and bedding the rich and gorgeous (Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger). As time marched on, the aging beauty publicly embraced plastic surgery, took up photography, and wrote a series of no-holds-barred autobiographical books. In 2006, this incorrigible bad girl landed her very own reality show,
The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, on the Oxygen network.
