In the fashion scene, Janice Dickinson—love her or hate her—was a force to be reckoned with. She established herself in the late 1970s and confirmed her reputation as a trailblazer in the 1980s when she joined Elite Model Management among inaugural signings. Not only another beautiful face, Janice was a trailblazer who questioned accepted standards of beauty and modelling with her strong personality and unreserved attitude. She is most well-known these days for her appearances on reality TV, especially for judging America's Next Top Model. Janice stays in the limelight even after she was let off the show, interacting with her followers on other venues. Her path has not been without difficulties; she tested her fortitude when she suffered a startling on-set accident while on I'm a Celebrity... South Africa. Though she has had ups and downs, the 68-year-old supermodel is a real survivor in the business, motivating people to value their uniqueness and strength by means of her experiences.
