Titre : | Thing of Beauty : The Tragedy of Supermodel Gia | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs et autres personnes : | Stephen Fried (1958-), Auteur ; Gia Carangi (1960-1986), Personne représentée, étudiée ou honorée | Editeur : | Pocket Books | Année : | 1993 | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-0-671-70104-8 | Note générale : | At age seventeen, Gia Carangi was working the counter at her father's Philadelphia luncheonette, Hoagie City. Within a year, Gia was one of the top models of the late 1970's, gracing the covers of Cosmopolitan and Vogue, partying at New York's Studio 54 and the Mudd Club, and redefining the industry's standard of beauty. She was the darling of moguls and movie stars, royalty and rockers. Gia was also a girl in pain, desperate for her mother's approval—and a drug addict on a tragic slide toward oblivion, who started going directly from $10,000-a-day fashion shoots to the heroin shooting galleries on New York's Lower East Side. Finally blackballed from modeling, Gia entered a vastly different world on the streets of New york and Atlantic City, and later in a rehab clinic. At twenty-six, she became on of the first women in America to die of AIDS, a hospital welfare case visited only by rehab friends and what remained of her family. | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Catégories : | Généralités et biographies:Biographies
