Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks is one of the most successful and recognizable models today. She began her modeling career at the young age of 15 and became the first African-American woman to be featured on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and GQ. Banks appeared on the cover three times, and her modeling career quickly evolved, eventually leading her to become a well-known Victoria’s Secret Angel. During her stint as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Banks was one of the highest-earning models, and it was a no-brainer to venture out into other industries.

Besides her successful modeling career, Tyra Banks also managed to appear in a handful of films. Some of Tyra’s film credits include movies like Halloween: Resurrection and Eight Crazy Nights. Despite appearing in films, her run as an American television personality brought her more fame and fortune. She’s appeared in a long list of television series and shows throughout her career.
