- Tyra Banks
Why Is She Famous?
People still tend to think of Tyra Banks as "just a model," but with an appearance in three movies that recently came out, including Coyote Ugly, she's ready to show the world that she can do more than just pose for photographers.
Biography
Tyra was born in Los Angeles on December 4th, 1973, to a very loving and supportive family. Despite the divorce of her parents when she was only six years old, and the torments of her older brother Devin, Tyra's youth was happy and trouble-free. Though it might now be hard to believe, Tyra was a tall, skinny and awkward adolescent. She was constantly teased by her brother and her classmates, and often ran home crying to her mother for comfort. Then, late in high school, everything changed for her. She filled out her skinny frame, began to work out and finally decided to become a model. Tyra pursued that goal with the determination that now marks all of her activities.
