00:30...so many things in our own lives.
00:35Cindy, Linda, Christy, and Naomi
00:38are still redefining what it means to be a model.
00:43There was a feeling about them that they wanted more.
00:47I was not seen as a person who had a voice in her own destiny.
00:53He said, you should lose five pounds.
00:55I got scared I didn't belong.
00:57But Linda's a chameleon.
00:59She could really become whatever the photographer wanted her to become.
01:03I would do all these great shows, wear all these beautiful dresses,
01:07but then it would come time to the advertising and I would not be included.
01:11I wasn't going to be bullied for the color of my skin.
01:13What I loved about the girls, they were a group.
01:16And that was so fabulous.
01:19We were always together and we made great photos together.
01:22You know, I just felt like to be together as a group, it just was so fun.
01:26They were my sisters.
01:28We get this phone call that George Michael wants to shoot us in his video.
01:31We made a decision.
01:32I will do it.
01:33I'm going to do it.
01:34Yes, okay, I'll do it.
01:37Everything changed.
01:38You can start to call the shots and be an active participant in your career.
01:42All of a sudden, we were the physical representations of power.
01:46I wanted to go further.
01:47I wanted to push the envelope.
01:50They brought their artistry to the image.
01:53They would see things we didn't necessarily see.
01:55They're like the Mona Lisa, the face of her era.
01:58They're larger than life.
02:00We helped break down barriers.
02:03I have to think of something greater than myself.
02:05When I first was referred to as a supermodel, I was like, why are they holding us this?
02:10It wasn't about the hair and the makeup.
02:13It wasn't about the fashion.
02:15It was about the women.
02:18That's what a supermodel is.
02:25That's what a supermodel is.
