Biography

Claims to have coined the term "supermodel" in 1979; however, the term was already in use before her time, such as a 1968 article in Glamour magazine describing Twiggy, Cheryl Tiegs, Veruschka von Lehndorff, Jean Shrimpton and fifteen other top models as "supermodels". This list as well as several other top models of the 1930s to early 1970s have been credited as "supermodels"', which dismisses Janice's claims as her being the "first supermodel" (her career began in late 1970s).

She was the fiancée of Sylvester Stallone from December 1993 to July 1994. Sly thought that he was the father of her daughter Savannah, but when he discovered the truth, that the real father of girl was Michael Birnbaum, he left her.

In her autobiography, "No Lifeguard on Duty", she claims that she was partly responsible for her father's death because she had discarded his heart medication pills, and he had a heart attack that night and died. The statute of limitation for prosecuting Dickinson for the death of her father was up by the time the book was published.

Testified that she was drugged and raped by Bill Cosby at a Lake Tahoe resort in 1982.

Appeared with fiance Dr. Robert "Rocky" Gerner, on VH1's reality show, Couples Therapy in late, 2015. Whilst the pair were discussing marriage, 'Rocky' told Janice, she was going to have to be prepared to sign an iron-clad prenuptial agreement. Suffice to say, Janice didn't take the news well.

Get a grip. The idea of the extreme makeover is disturbing.

Back in the day I was doing runway, editorial, advertising, spokesmodeling, and public appearances. Those are five different categories. Your "Twiggys" and your "Lauren Huttons" weren't doing that. I was Versace's muse, I was Valentino's muse, I was Alaia's muse, Lancetti's muse, Calvin Klein's, Halston's. I could go on and on.

[on her The Surreal Life (2003) co-star, Caprice Bourret] Caprice is not a supermodel. She's some girl who developed a fake accent after moving to England, like Madonna.

I wanted to have softer breasts. So I went from Saline to Silicone. Sylvester Stallone paid for those, so I figured, why not, free tits, I'm in!

[on her sobriety & her boob repair] I have had drug and alcohol issues in the past. I'm nervous about doing this operation, sober...without taking pills to calm my nerves and anxiety.
