Would you like to get to know Linda Evangelista, who made a statement years later and said that she had been diagnosed with cancer twice in the last five years and said, "I know, I've got one foot in the grave"?
One of the most popular supermodels of the 1990s, 58-year-old Linda Evangelista, who has lived out of sight for years, announced that she has been struggling with health problems for a while.
SHE HAS TWO BREASTS AS REMEDY
Linda Evangelista announced for the first time that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer twice in the last five years and had both breasts removed as a remedy.
THE DISEASE REPEATED
Linda Evangelista said she was first diagnosed in 2018 after her annual Mammogram. Evangelista explained that she was diagnosed with a tumor in her chest, which was determined to be malignant.
"I WANTED TO LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND"
"There were other health conditions as well. So I didn't hesitate. I told my doctor to have both my breasts removed. I wanted to leave everything behind and deal with it that way," said Linda Evangelista.
"I DON'T WANT TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL"
Although Linda Evangelista had both breasts removed, a new tumor was found in that area in 2022. Evangelista put it this way: I told my doctor to make a hole in my chest. I said, "I don't want to look pretty. I want you to scrape me. I want to see this hole you made in my chest. Do you understand me?"
"I KNOW I HAVE ONE FOOT IN A PIT"
Linda Evangelista, who says she is fine right now, expressed her situation in a way that not everyone can do easily and said: "I know I have one foot in the grave, but I am in a kind of celebration mode, literally."
Linda Evangelista (born May 10, 1965) is a Canadian fashion model. She is regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential models of all time, and has been featured on over 700 magazine covers. Evangelista is primarily known for being the longtime "muse" of photographer Steven Meisel, as well as for the phrase: "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day."
Linda Evangelista later continued: "I overcame terrible health problems. I'm happy to be where I am now, and I'm celebrating my book. I'm so happy to be alive. Everything that comes next is a bonus to these."
"I WON'T EVEN GO FROM MY BED FOR MONEY UNDER 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS"

September 2021
Linda Evangelista has gone unrecognizable because of what happened to her on her way to stay young.
Have you ever heard of the name John Casablancas? If you haven't heard, let's say: She can be considered the inventor of today's beauty pageants. Casablancas, who has made modeling a completely different sector in the world with the Elite Model Management company he founded, has managed many famous models from Naomi Campell to Irina Shayk.
Among the stars of Elite Model Management was the supermodel of the 90s, Linda Evangelista. Evangelista married Gerard Marie, the senior manager of the agency, and had a say in the management of the company.
Evangelista has undergone plastic surgery in recent years so that the years will not take away her beauty. Among them, she says she is 'unrecognizable' because of some cosmetic procedures she has applied to her face. In a statement on her Instagram account, Evangelista also said she would sue a company for a product she used.
Evangelista, who says that she had facial surgery to counter the effects of the cosmetic product she applied on her face, still states that her face has not regained the shape she wanted.
'I CAN'T WORK DUE TO DAMAGE'
In the competitive fashion world of the 1990s, Evangelista was cited as one of the five most famous supermodels in the world. Linda Evangelista, who sued Zeltiq Aesthetics for $50 million in damages due to the cosmetic product that made her face unrecognizable, explains that she has been unable to work in recent years due to the damage to her face.
Evangelista had undergone cold liposuction to remove the fat in the abdomen, back, and chest area from her body. This application is based on the principle of freezing a region of the body with regional fat by enclosing it under the hood. In the application, it is aimed to break the fat cells exposed to cold.
The former supermodel's lawyers say their clients have had trouble even going out for a long time after the operations. The firm that the model is suing states that all of its transactions have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
COVER TO VOUGE IN HER THIRD YEAR
Born on May 10, 1965, Linda Evangelista comes from a family of Italian descent living in Canada. Evangelista, who was noticed at an early age for her beauty and participated in local beauty contests, started modeling when she was a teenager. After graduating from high school in 1984, she was signed to modeling agency Elite by her mother. Then, Linda Evangelista, who started living in Paris, was on the cover of Vogue magazine in the third year of her professional modeling career.
In 1987, Evangelista married Gerard Marie, executive director of Elite Model Management, whose name would later become associated with numerous harassment scandals. After this marriage at the age of 22, her modeling career started to rise rapidly. At one time, she was doing so much work that the word "I won't even get out of my bed for less than 10 thousand dollars" went down in history in the fashion world.
Divorcing Marie in 1993, Evangelista returned to the United States, where she had a six-year relationship with Sex and the City star Kyle MacLachlan. After this union, she fell in love with Fabien Barthez, who guarded the goal of the French National Team in 1998. While the two were expecting a child, an unfortunate event happened to Evangelista and she miscarried while she was pregnant.
After this incident, she took a break from her working life for three years. Evangelista, who became pregnant again at the age of 41, did not publicly reveal who the father of her child was. Later it turned out that the father of the child was French billionaire François-Henri Pinault. The couple were together from the end of 2005 to the middle of 2006. Pinault later married the beautiful actress Salma Hayek.
