Best known for being the face of Calvin Klein for two decades, Christy Turlington belonged to the pack of glamazon models who dominated the runways, ad campaigns and editorials of the 80s and 90s. The fine-boned and radiant beauty, whose contracts have included Maybelline, Chanel and Versace from the days of Gianni's splashy, monochrome patent leather outfits, has always been known for the energy she lent to the iconic photos she helped create. Other best moments of hers include her starring in Duran Duran's "Notorious" video at the tender age of 16, being in George Michael's supermodel-studded "Freedom", dating Christian Slater, and a DL-relationship with Jason Patric. Maybe she was born with it, maybe it was Maybelline. We'd venture to say the former. Happy belated birthday, Christy!  Here are some epic Christy shots along with the OC gifts inspired by them.
