5. Isabella Rossellini
The height of eternal beauty, Isabella Rossellini’s star-studded background couldn’t keep her out of the public eye. It was just a matter of time before Isabella made her name in show business with parents who had won Academy Awards and a stunning likeness to her mother, Ingrid Bergman. Although Lancôme signed her for an amazing 14-year contract because of her gorgeous features, Isabella’s talents went much beyond what would be expected of a model. She has made a smooth transition into acting, starring in classic movies like Blue Velvet that highlighted her depth and variety. More lately, she has worked on artistic endeavours including her one-woman play Darwin’s Smile, which examines our relationship to the natural world and animal emotions. Age is only a number, Isabella shows by always redefining herself and following her ambitions. Notwithstanding job challenges, her tenacity and love have driven her to boldly pursue her aspirations, so motivating many people to welcome their own paths in the arts and other fields.
6. Cindy Crawford
Cindy Crawford proved that knowledge and beauty go hand in hand by being the valedictorian of her college, therefore transcending mere appearance. She first registered in chemical engineering at Northwestern University but came to see her own calling in the realm of fashion and modelling. She entered the modelling scene rapidly rising to be a commercial powerhouse and a major influence. Both photographers and designers loved her for her famous mole and arresting looks. As Cindy reaches her sixties, she still models, unreservedly embracing her life events and questioning society’s fixation with young beauty. She has turned into a shining example of empowerment, showing that one may appreciate rather than dread age. Beyond appearances, Cindy is busy as usual, flourishing as an entrepreneur with her own, perfectly tasteful house collection. She has written several books offering insights into her life and profession and even experimented with acting to demonstrate that her skills go much beyond the catwalk. Cindy Crawford stays an inspiration to many even now since she is always present in the business.
