Kate Middleton came from decidedly working-class stock. Kate's maternal grandmother, Dorothy Goldsmith, became the first member of the family to attempt to improve the family's social and economic status. Dorothy pushed her children to aim high and, as a result, Kate's mother became an airline hostess.


She attended exclusive boarding schools, including St. Andrew's Prep School, Down House, and Marlborough College. But her time in boarding school did not come without its conflicts. Kate left the exclusive Down House all-girls boarding school at the age of 13, due to bullying and taunts from other students there.

They gave Kate a two out of 10. Despite the initial setbacks, however, Kate did well in her studies, passing 11 GCSEs and three A-level exams.In 2001, Middleton became a student at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland—the first in her family to attend college. While in her first year at the university, Middleton was placed in the dormitory St.

Middleton was dating senior Rupert Finch, and William was busy dealing with the press and struggling with his feelings about his new school.But in 2002, Middleton appeared in an exclusive fashion-show fundraiser wearing a revealing dress. William was also present at the charity event, and became intrigued and interested in Kate in a new way.

Linda Evangelista was born May 10, 1965, in St. Catherine's, Ontario. She is considered one of the five "original" supermodels, along with Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell.

Evangelista knew she wanted to be a model when she was just 12 years old. When she was 15, a modeling scout noticed her in the Miss Teen Niagara Contest. She later signed up with the Elite Model Agency in New York City before moving to Paris to develop her career.

Evangelista has appeared in advertisements for companies such as American Express, Anne Klein, Bloomingdale's, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Gianni Versace. Magazine covers include Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Allure, and Harper's Bazaar.

There is more to this model's life than just posing for pictures. She spends some of her free time raising awareness for breast cancer research in memory of her grandmother and family friend who suffered from the disease. Evangelista also enjoys playing poker and playing the accordion.

Brooke Shields's father was a Revlon executive and her mother a model. Shields has been in the public eye from the very beginning, as she appeared in an Ivory Snow advertisement when she was a mere 11 months old.

Meanwhile, Shields caused a sensation with her advertisements for Calvin Klein jeans, in which she claimed that nothing came between her and her Calvins. Shields also endorsed Breck shampoo, Colgate toothpaste, and Band Aids.

However, she couldn't totally resist the spotlight and wrote a much-publicized autobiography, On Your Own.Shields starred in a string of TV-movies following college, before landing the title role in Suddenly Susan in 1996.

Shields came into the public eye again on July l7, 2009, when she spoke at the memorial service for Michael Jackson at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. In her tearful eulogy she shared a number of heartfelt anecdotes about the pop star.
