The story of the world's first supermodel, Gia Carangi, is depressing. There's really no other way to put it. She was the world's first supermodel. She rose to prominent heights when she was in her late teens, conquering the scene as soon as she got on it. But how long did she stay at the top? Barely 2 years, before precipitating a decline as horrifying as it was quick. She fell down the rabbit hole and was never able to extricate herself. It's a story of a woman who had it and lost it all in a matter of years. A few months shy of her 27th birthday, she was gone, leaving only her legacy and a cautionary tale.
I recommend getting the book by Stephen Fried: https://amzn.to/3sycjuf
It's also available on the Archive: https://archive.org/details/terrynati...
Highly recommend the Gia movie, starring Angelina Jolie. It's available on HBO Max, but other options are listed here: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/gia
Other's have also created video essays about her. I suggest taking a look:
• Gia Carangi supermodel dead at 26 from AlD... by @KarineAlourde
• The Story of Gia Carangi by @antiheroines-you-love
• MODELING: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is about modeling instead of Carangi, by @gremlita
