In the 80s and 90s, she was a supermodel of renown who was prominent on magazines and runways, as well as in fashion-related campaigns. In the following years, she started acting and launched a company. She was contacted in her sophomore year from a local clothing shop regarding modeling. It turned out to be an ill-informed joke made by two of her peers. Crawford was hired by another store the following year to model for them. They also held an fashion shoot. Roger Legel, a local photographer approached Crawford to photograph her. He was the one responsible for taking a picture of another college girl for DeKalb Nite Weekly. Crawford was the first model to be featured on the photo shoot. [9] Her positive feedback and the image convinced her to start modeling. She initially worked for an agency that was small, and was bought by Elite Model Management shortly after she signed. She entered Elite's Look of the Year contest at the age of 17 and was able to make it to the finals at the national level.
