Tyra Banks is not an actress. Not yet, anyway. Although, it seems, he wants to become one, and, perhaps, eventually, will become a star of cinema. She has no acting education, at one time she refused to attend college, preferring to pursue a modeling career. But given her determination, perseverance and hard work, what she wants, she will achieve. So far, Tyra Banks is a very successful model (one of the 9 highest paid and one of the five most sexually attractive models in the world), a top manager of the modeling business, a host of several popular reality shows on television, the author of several books about the modeling business and the modeling profession. Among other things, almost no significant event in the world of American fashion does without Tyra Banks.
The path to the glory of Tyra was, as they say, very thorny. In school, the girl was very depressed by her high height. The children teased her with a “calanche” and she felt deeply unhappy, as sometimes unhappy teenagers. But it was this that prompted Tyra to think about a career model, for which high height is one of the main requirements. The girl begins to work hard on her appearance. She and her mother move to Los Angeles and start besieging modeling agencies. But one agency after another refuses the young American, diplomatically alluding to her “too obvious ethnic appearance.” According to her mother, the market was not very favorable for black models. But what is familiar to America may be exotic to Europe. The girl was seen by an employee of a French modeling agency and invited her to move to Paris. In France, Tyra came, in her words, "with trembling knees", but... In the first week she made a splash. She signed a contract with 25 modeling agencies, which was an amazing achievement for the beginning model. So began Tyra Banks’ rise to fame. /
