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.
Vincent Van Patten
Son of the actor Dick Van Patten, Vincent was encouraged to take the spotlight at a young age, and he appeared in many commercials as a child. He soon transitioned into bigger roles, starring in numerous films and TV shows, the first of which was "Bonanza."
But Vincent is more than just an actor. He is also a talented tennis player with a well-established career and titles, as well as a successful poker player. So even though he doesn't act anymore, he has a plethora of other ways to make a living.
Bobby Sherman
Bobby Sherman started out as an actor, but it didn't take long for his other talents to shine. His first television appearance was on the show "Shindig!" and then he started leaning into music as well. His music career won him five gold albums and seven Top 40 hits.
When Bobby felt like his Hollywood career wasn't fulfilling anymore, he went a different way. He retired from showbusiness and started a career as an EMT and a sheriff's officer.
Diane von Furstenberg
Diane had it made: she married her college sweetheart Prince Egon von Furstenberg and became an official part of the German royal family (such as it is). But before long, she realized she wanted a career of her own and jumped into the fashion world in 1970, only a year after getting married.
Thanks to her newfound wealth and a pretty good amount of talent, von Furstenberg is now one of the most famous in the world, and its high-profile devotees include Victoria Beckham and Michelle Williams.
Grace Jones
Grace Jones came bursting into our lives with her unconventional looks and taste. She got her start as a model, and thanks to her unique masculine look, she got people's attention pretty quickly. However, she would then move on to music and release three albums during the seventies.
Her avant-garde concerts garnered her more attention, but she wasn't about to let her star fall. She jumped into acting, and a talent for on-screen performances combined with her big name and striking looks landed her acting roles next to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher Walken, and Halle Berry.
