Gia Carangi, an American supermodel, is widely recognized as the first supermodel. In the 1980s, she enjoyed immense success in the fashion industry, gracing numerous magazine covers and featuring in campaigns for top fashion houses. However, her career took a downturn in 1983 due to her battle with heroin addiction, which led to her stepping back from modeling. Tragically, she passed away at the age of 26 due to complications related to AIDS. Despite her struggles, Carangi’s influence on the modeling world remains profound, and her life served as the inspiration for a television film in 1998.
