3. Janice Dickinson (68)
American supermodel, actress and photographer Janice Dickinson was born into a dysfunctional family. A despotic father tempered the character of the future celebrity. More than once she heard him say, "You'll never be anything! Perhaps it was this that gave Janice the drive and energy to prove otherwise.
In 1973, the girl graduated from high school and headed to New York to become a model. During her career she worked with Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Playboy and VOICE.
As she got older, Janice didn't want to accept age-related changes in herself, so she decided to remove them with plastic surgery. The celebrity overdid it.
