Interview
In 1986, Cindy Crawford was not yet a diva: she was only twenty years old and just an aspiring model.
L’The Oprah Winfrey ShowFor her it was an opportunity not to be missed, and for Cindy it was her first appearance on television. Cindy, accompanied by her agent John Casablancas, was understandably nervous, knowing she had to take advantage of this big opportunity.
These were Oprah’s words greeting Cindy: “Have you always had this body? Stand up for a minute, this body!
This is how Cindy Crawford commented on this experience: “I was like an object, I just had to show myself and not say a word.
Crawford then added, “I didn’t realize it at the time, but then I said to myself, ‘Damn, this is not good at all… especially from Oprah!'”
Cindy then highlighted Oprah’s tactlessness in asking questions of her agent without asking the person concerned: “I would like to talk about my difficulties. I was twenty years old and working at a fast pace. I passed out several times, especially before lunch.”
