Details or Sample:
First third of article:

Tyra Banks is a Top Model, TV sitcom/ movie actress, Victoria Secret Angel, Author, Singer, Coyote Ugly Girl and Talk Show Host. This woman has done it all. This biography of Tyra Banks will attempt to list, using a time-line, most of the important dates in this superwoman"s life by category. (Disclaimer: Tyra is one of my idols, so I will do my best to stay accurate but one of Ms. Banks" most enduring qualities is her commitment to sisterhood and forgiveness. Please practice the same if you find an error. Also, remember that she has made a lot of appearances, both modeling and otherwise that it would be impossible to list them all.)

December 4th, 1973: Tyra Banks was born in Los Angeles, California. Tyra has talked about her adolescent years, painful like most of us, with the nickname "Olive Oil" because of having the beginnings of a supermodel body: height and skinniness. She has more then once, told of how her Mama, Carolyn London, is her rock that has gotten her through all of the tough times, personal and career wise.

She began her modeling career at the age of 17 with the Elite agency and went on to have too many contracts with agencies all over the world to list.
