Angie Everhart Biography
Posted on Aug 02, 2006 Under All Supermodel Biographies, American Supermodels, Angie Everhart |Everhart was born in Akron, Ohio. Everhart began modeling when she was 16 and moved to Europe to pursue her modeling career at 17. Born to an engineer father and a homemaker mother in Akron, Everhart was the fifth child of six siblings, having four older brothers and a younger sister. In 1987, she graduated from Firestone High School in Akron where she was a cheerleader and school mascot. Following a playful photo session with her mother and the subsequent submission of the results to a local modeling agency, Everhart was on a plane to Paris later that same year. By the end of the following year, the burgeoning model had graced the covers of such fashion mainstays as ELLE and Glamour (for which she was the first-ever red-haired cover girl). Though a horseback riding accident in which she broke her back nearly put an end to her catwalk aspirations, the determined model was soon on her feet again against all odds.
