Cindy Margolis Biography:
Margolis has appeared on
numerous magazine covers, worked on television, and has the distinction of being the most downloaded
sexy female ever, gaining her the title Queen of the Internet. While many
were searching for nude pictures of the model, the reality was there were none
to be found except for crude knock-offs and photo shop creations. But the
buzz around the celebrity had started.
Born in Los Angeles, California on October 1, 1965, Cindy found her way into the world of modeling while attending California State University. When her
business professor gave an assignment to the class about the creation of greeting cards,
she was moved to develop, market and sell a line of
greeting cards featuring a picture of herself. When talent agents started asking where to find the
sexy blonde female on the card, her celebrity and modeling career was born.
During the years, she has modeled in advertising for
famous brand names like Reebok, Vidal Sassoon, and Hanes. Late
night television viewers know her best for her middle of the night appearances in
an assortment of infomercials, such as those for the products of Tony Robbins and Don Lapre.
She is not only an advertising model however, and has worked on several television series. In 1995, she worked
for a short time on the long running game show "The Price Is Right", hosted by Bob Barker. Her
role as a Barker beauty host did not last long, but five years later she got her own late night Saturday
television talk show. "The Cindy Margolis Show", created and
produced in Miami Beach Florida, was also unsuccessful, lasting only two seasons before being cancelled. While the Internet was still an emerging technology,
she once again used her business knowledge to promote and market her beauty.
After developing her own website, she was named Queen of the Internet by Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine from 1996 to 1999, and
was added into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2000 for being the most downloaded person of 1999.
That record has since been broken by Miley Cyrus.
At thirty-five, when most models are leaving the business, Margolis was at her peak of popularity. In a
period of only twenty-four hours, her pictures were downloaded 75,000 times.
In November of 2005, she was hired for the "World Poker Tour" as the
new host for Chipleaders. The following year, she was hired to
work with
"Tropical Poker" production, and represented them in press
interviews and
marketing promotions during the 2007 "World Series of Poker"
season.
She has appeared in the films "Dead Above Ground" about students
and teachers who begin dying the same way as a video depicts., "Chairman of the
Board", and "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery", with the
funny man Mike Myers, and she has also made
a cameo appearance as herself on "Ally McBeal", starring Calista
Flockhart.
The model turned actress has been an encouragement to women everywhere by showing the world that forty is sexy. She is married to
restaurant guru Guy Starkman, and in 2002, the couple had their first child Nicolas Isaac, and in 2005, a surrogate mother gave birth to twin girls Sabrina and Sierra.
