Cynthia Ann "Cindy" Crawford (born February 20, 1966) is an American supermodel, MTV television personality, celebrity endorser, cover girl, and actress. Crawford was born in DeKalb, Illinois, the daughter of Jennifer Sue (née Walker) and John Crawford. Crawford's trademark is a visible mole (or "beauty mark") on her upper lip. She is so closely associated with this physical feature that she appeared in an advertising campaign for chocolates featuring commercials wherein she "licked off" her own mole.
