Carol Alt

Carol Alt defined the supermodel era for me. Born in Flushing, New York, and educated at Hofstra, she became known simply as The Face, gracing countless covers in the 1980s. But what I respect is that she never let beauty be her ceiling. She moved into acting, then reinvented herself again as an advocate for raw food and wellness, treating her career as something to be continually rebuilt rather than preserved. To me, the real story is not a single iconic photograph but the durability behind it. I find her ability to keep evolving long past her peak genuinely admirable.
