Linda Evangelista (born May 10, 1965) is a Canadian model. She is one of the most accomplished and influential models of all time, and has been featured on over 700 magazine covers. Evangelista is mostly known for being the longtime muse of photographer Steven Meisel, as well as for coining the phrase "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day." She holds the record for her multiple appearances on the cover of ''Vogue Italia'', all of which were photographed by Meisel. Described as the "chameleon" of the fashion industry, and as a key figure among the five supermodels, Evangelista was one of the most famous women in the world during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. Unlike her colleagues, she chose not to diversify into other ventures outside of modeling. She retired from her career in 1998 and made a comeback three years later, this time working only sporadically. Her achievements as a model led to her being voted as "the greatest supermodel of all time" by the viewers of the television show ''Fashion File'' in 2008. == Early life == Evangelista was born to Italian parents who emigrated to Canada. She grew up in a working-class, Roman Catholic household in St. Catharines, Ontario, close to Niagara Falls, where she attended Denis Morris Catholic High School.〔 Her father, Tomaso, worked for General Motors,〔〔 and died on January 17, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.canadianobituaries.com/tomaso-tom-evangelista-obituary-january-17-2014.html )〕 Her mother, Marisa,〔 was a bookkeeper.
