Future model Beverly Johnson was born on October 3, 1952 in New York. A Native American from a good family, she was a particularly talented swimmer, taking championship titles in several local competitions.
As a child, Beverly dreamed of becoming a lawyer, and she liked everything related to the legal profession and the criminal sphere. She studied law at the American Northeastern University, but her life turned out differently.
Career
As time went on, beauty Beverly Johnson, hearing compliments from people about her bright and fantastically attractive appearance, decided to heed the advice of her friends and went in search of happiness in the modeling business. In Glamor and beyond (in more than five hundred editions), her active modeling career unfolded. And the legendary Vogue in August 1974 published a photo of Beverly Johnson on its cover. It was a real sensation for the black model (only then, after Beverly, both Naomi and Tyra Banks "thundered").
Model, beauty and even a writer, she gives the right life advice to her fans in The Beverly Johnson Guide to a Beautiful and He althy Life. In 1979, she even recorded one album, trying to sing. She did not disdain filming either, she was given roles in the films "Ashanti", "Meteor Man", "Crossroads" and in other films. She has appeared in episodes in some super series such as Law & Order, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. This is her world, she looks very organic in it. Beverly Johnson worked in the reality show of the TV Land channel. Ladies "over 35" took part in the show, fighting for a model contract and a photo shoot in a glossy publication. Our heroine was among the judges as well.
Awards
In 2006, actress and model Beverly Johnson was awarded at the Oprah Winfrey Ball of Legends, and other famous African-American women, such as Tina Turner, received awards side by side with her. The award was given in the fields of art, entertainment, and civil rights. The famous and influential Johnson has also been recognized by the media giant The New York Times as one of the most influential women in the fashion industry of the 20th century.
Bad Bill
In 2014 there was an unpleasant incident. Beverly stated that comedian Bill Cosby forced her to use drugs and then tried to rape her. First he invited her home to discuss the possibility of her participation in a TV show. Was a douchetreated him to coffee, however, with a dose of the drug (Beverly, of course, knew the tastes of all the drugs in the world). Further, according to Beverly, Bill tried to rape her, but the girl pulled out and cursed loudly. Bill kicked her out of the house.
A day later, Mrs. Johnson called Bill to shame him for his inappropriate behavior, but the actor did not talk to her, his wife picked up the phone and said that Bill was busy. His lawyers categorically denied everything and did not comment on Johnson's statements. American actor Bill Cosby has not looked his best since 2014. Drunk and drugged, he allegedly attacked the famous Janice Dickinson, similar charges were made against him at the time by 20 representatives of the fair sex: actresses and models.
Beverly Johnson keeps up with fashion by taking part in this Hollywood scandal. But I would really like to hope that she told the truth and did not invent this ugly story to increase her rating.
