Gia Marie Carangi was born January 29, 1960. She lived here on Earth until November 18, 1986.
There are some people who’s lights shine a bit brighter than most, Gia was one of those people. Her light has not faded even after she left this Earth. She left behind so many people who loved her… family, friends and fans.
Gia was an American model during the late 1970s and early 1980s. She was considered by many to be the first “Supermodel”. She left behind a huge portfolio of work for someone who worked for a relative short time in the fashion model business.
Gia was featured on the covers of many fashion magazines, including multiple editions of Vogue and Cosmopolitan. She appeared in top advertising campaigns for such fashion houses as Armani, Christian Dior, Versace, and Yves Saint Laurent.
Gia experimented recreationally with drugs as a youth which was not unusual for the free-range youth of the 60s/70s. She became addicted to heroin at the height of her modeling career then it rapidly declined.
Gia died of AIDS-related complications at the age of 26, becoming one of the first famous women to die of the disease.
