Iman
One of the biggest models in the seventies, Iman had a rags-to-riches story that's almost too hard to believe. Born in Somalia, Iman was a university student when a photographer spotted her. She moved to America and began modeling for "Vogue," and before long was a top runway star.
She dated Warren Beatty in the late seventies and had a daughter with basketball star Spencer Haywood. She met British rocker David Bowie in the early nineties, with which she had one daughter, and the two stayed together until Bowie passed away in 2016.
