Linda Evangelista (born May 10, 1965 in St. Catharines, Ontario) is a Canadian supermodel. She is part of "The Trinity". She uttered the quote "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day". Evangelista was born to Italian parents and was raised in a working-class, traditional Catholic family. She knew she wanted to become a model when she was 12 years old. Evangelista got into the modeling industry when she was discovered by a talent agent at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara Contest.Evangelista later moved to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management there. She then moved to Paris, to further her career. She also appeared in music videos with George Michael.Along with Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, Linda is regarded as one of the few, true supermodels that changed the face of fashion in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
