Trivia
Michael Birnbaum is the father of her daughter, Savannah Dickinson.
One son, with Simon Fields, named Nathan Fields.
As a young girl got involved with sports because she drove her younger sister to gymnastics practices - Debbie was on the Junior Olympics team - and Janice took up swimming, karate and some gymnastics to bide the time while waiting for Debbie.
Sister of model Debbie Dickinson and Alexis Mayer.
Claims to have coined the term "supermodel" in 1979; however, the term was already in use before her time, such as a 1968 article in Glamour magazine describing Twiggy, Cheryl Tiegs, Veruschka von Lehndorff, Jean Shrimpton and fifteen other top models as "supermodels". This list as well as several other top models of the 1930s to early 1970s have been credited as "supermodels"', which dismisses Janice's claims as her being the "first supermodel" (her career began in late 1970s).
Claims to be the first supermodel. However, it is commonly accepted that there are only six supermodels, and the following list does not include her: Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and Linda Evangelista.
Father's ethnic background is Belarusian; the family name was altered after emigration to America.
Her daughter, Savannah Dickinson, was born on February 23, 1994.
Bears a strong resemblance to Brittany Brower. Both appeared on the show "America's Next Top Model" (2003). Dickinson was a judge and Brower was a contestant.
Her appearance on "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" (2004) was cut short because of her making obscene gestures and statements.
Dickinson wrote of a rivalry between herself and Kimora Lee when they both were on "America's Next Top Model" (2003) in her book, "Everything about Me is Fake and I'm Perfect". Dickinson admits that she criticized Kimora's fake hair and nails, but says that she would have been much nicer if Kimora had shown up on time for filming.
Camera technician Tommy Fry from "The Surreal Life" (2003) moved in with Dickinson after her appearance on the show.
She become an ultra-successful model at the age of 14
Was ranked #25 in Channel 5's "World's greatest supermodel".
Along with Nicole Richie, Beyoncé Knowles, Veronica Webb, Kelly Osbourne, Angie Everhart, Alexandra Richards, Irina Pantaeva, Marisa Miller, Wyclef Jean, Rachel Hunter, and Naomi Campbell, she participated in the "Fashion for Relief" show on 16 September, 2005 in New York, a benefit for AmeriCares to support victims for Hurricane Katrina. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were among the celebrities who attended.
Says that the girls who win "America's Next Top Model" (2003) are not of a high enough caliber to make it in the modeling business.
In her autobiography, "No Lifeguard on Duty", she claims that she was partly responsible for her father's death because she had discarded his heart medication pills, and he had a heart attack that night and died. The statute of limitation for prosecuting Dickinson for the death of her father was up by the time the book was published.
She was the fiancée of Sylvester Stallone from December 1993 to July 1994. Sly thought that he was the father of her daughter Savannah, but when he discovered the truth, that the real father of girl was Michael Birnbaum, he left her.
Left concussed and shaken up after the vehicle she was riding in was caught up in a hit-and-run accident in Los Angeles on December 12, 2006. Hit her head in the accident and taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment and later released.
Grew up in Hollywood, Florida.
Is a big fan of Gilles Bensimon's work.
Personal Quotes
Get a grip. The idea of the extreme makeover is disturbing.
Back in the day I was doing runway, editorial, advertising, spokesmodeling, and public appearances. Those are five different categories. Your "Twiggys" and your "Lauren Huttons" weren't doing that. I was Versace's muse, I was Valentino's muse, I was Alaia's muse, Lancetti's muse, Calvin Klein's, Halston's. I could go on and on.
[on her "The Surreal Life" (2003) co-star, Caprice Bourret] Caprice is not a supermodel. She's some girl who developed a fake accent after moving to England, like Madonna.
