Synopsis
The exotic modeling icon of the 1970s and 80s reveals details about her unlikely survival in a life surrounded by sex, drugs, and fame in her sensational autobiography. 8-page color photo insert., No Lifeguard on Duty is the ultimate memoir of sex, drugs, rock & roll, and redemption from modeling icon Janice Dickinson. From her supermodel glory days with Gia Carangi and Christie Brinkley to nights with Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, and Sylvester Stallone; from a dizzying drug and alcohol habit to three failed marriages; from cavorting around the globe to struggling to make it in Los Angeles as a working mom on America's Next Top Model and The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Janice tells all., No Lifeguard on Duty is the ultimate memoir of sex, drugs, rock & roll, and redemption from modeling icon Janice Dickinson. From her supermodel glory days with Gia Carangi and Christie Brinkley to nights with Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, and Sylvester Stallone; from a dizzying drug and alcohol habit to three failed marriages; from cavorting around the globe to struggling to make it in Los Angeles as a working mom on America's Next Top Model and The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency , Janice tells all., She wasn't just a model. She was a supermodel. In the 1970s-before her star turns on the The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and America's Next Top Model-Janice Dickinson was the lush-lipped, long-stemmed, dark-eyed brunette who became the icon for a new breed of beauty. She was voracious in everything-from her affairs both passionate and casual to her endless partying and a drug habit that dogged her through twenty years and three husbands. Her glory days were spent working with Gia Carangi, Christie Brinkley, Valentino, and Versace, and her nights with the likes of Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger, and Sylvester Stallone. No Lifeguard on Duty is her story-an electrifying roller-coaster ride of fast times through three decades of fashion, fame, drugs, sex, and excess.
