Veronica Webb was born in the Motor City and went to college in New York before going into modeling. She became much more.
While she had a successful stint as a model, becoming the first black supermodel to win an exclusive contract for a major cosmetics company (Revlon), she also became known as a writer and essayist, serving as an editor-at-large of Interview magazine, writing a weekly column on American culture in the Italian news magazine Panorama, and contributing pieces for Details and Elle, among others. The punningly titled Webb Sight, a collection of essays about her experiences in New York, was published in 1998.
Oh yeah, she can act, too. ;-)
Webb, who turns 43 later this month, can currently be seen as a co-host on Bravo's Tim Gunn's Guide To Style.
