CHERYL TIEGS | 73
Fans will quickly remember Cheryl Tiegs as the first American supermodel. She would often get several credits for her number of appearances on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Time, and other fashion magazines during her heyday. Her 1978 Pink Bikini poster even became the iconic image of 1970s pop culture.
If these are not yet enough, Tiegs secured the biggest contract ever—worth $1.5 million–for Cover Girl cosmetics in 1979. She was inducted into Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’s 40th anniversary Hall of Fame, included on People’s 50 Most Beautiful People list in 2008, and featured on Men’s Health Magazine’s 100 Hottest Women of All Time in 2012. Today, Tiegs is already 73 years old, but nothing can stop her from doing what she loves the most. She is now the spokeswoman for Renewal: A Time for You, a program offering advice to women in transition about healthy lifestyle changes.
