First Part of Article:

No one could call the biography of Janice Dickinson (born February 17, 1953 (or 1955 by some reports) in Brooklyn, New York) a boring one. Janice is considered one of the world´s first Supermodels (though some say that the honor really belongs to a model from the sixties named Jean Shrimpton) and others trying to follow in Ms. Dickinson´s footsteps have had some pretty high heels to fill. This article will chronicle her life in a time-line and will make every attempt to list, at the very least, the most important events of her life and career (which to someone as driven as she, I´m sure is pretty much one and the same).
