I just found out this HUGE celebrity was from DeKalb, Illinois and I’m SHOOK.
HOW am I the last person on planet Earth to find out that the most beautiful woman in the entire world is from DeKalb, IL!?
If you already known this fact, you can skip this article, look at the throwback photo and feel amazing about yourself because you have trumped me in useless trivia.
I have always been known to my friends and family as a plethora of useless knowledge. Music trivia, Space, Math, Food… you get the idea. I dominate in useless trivia in every category. But this completely has my mind blown.
Today, while driving to WDKB I had a thought in my head, “Who is the most famous person to come out of DeKalb?”
I thought about it for quite a while and couldn’t come up with a celebrity big enough for me to say WHOA!
Sure, there is Richard Jenkins, better known as Dr. Robert Doback from the hilarious movie “Step Brothers,” but that didn’t make me jump out of my seat.
So I took to helpful IMDb only to find the most beautiful woman on Earth, Cindy Crawford is from DEKALB, ILLINOIS!!!
She’s an actress, model, trend setter and all around incredible human who has rubbed elbows with everyone from John Kennedy Jr. to Pamela Anderson, Richard Gere and let’s not forget, the inspiration behind Prince’s “Cindy C.” song.
Look at this throwback photo she shared on Instagram from her time at Clinton Rosette Middle School in DeKalb.
How could I be the last on the planet to figure this out? If you already knew, bravo!
