She looks so lost and sad in this interview. The amount of young models who became drug addicts and died back then is just crazy. Heartbreaking, really...
Maybe they didn’t know. AIDS was very taboo and scary back than. Her body was ravaged by the disease and her drug abuse so her family probably didn’t want her to be seen like that.
I suspect her family kept it private. Gia's friend Francesco Scavullo "sent a Mass card when he heard the news." If her close friend did not know why would people in the fashion world know? Back then AIDS patients were sent to be buried or cremated rather immediately. People in the fashion industry would had to be invited to the funeral beforehand because the funeral took place in Philly not nyc and models like Gia were working out of nyc, la, and overseas a lot back then and even still currently are so attending a funeral could mean losing a modeling gig if not scheduled way in advance
remember she became very famous years after her death, and at the time her situation was not uncommon among other people in fashion and modeling. There were a lot of people addicted to drugs, and not just models, photographers, magazine editors, make up artists, etc. Even Donatella Versace had a cocaine addiction, Gianni was HIV positive as well, so this time was a very dark time in the 80s. so unfortunately her death may not have been so impactful at the time, even though looking back it was a messed up situation.
The fashion, music, movie industries are so.. ephemeral. The people who make up those industries are always focused on what’s coming up behind the current ‘thing of the moment’. They all know that anything else would be career suicide. Very empty, vapid way of thinking and of living. Sad. Heartbreaking, really.
@@jessebacon817 You have an extremely valid point. People were terrified. I was a little kid back then, but I remember how frightened people were. I remember news stories where people who had the disease were spitting at police officers who were trying to arrest them. At that time, if you did a thing like that, you’d be put away for attempted murder 😳
Gia was a professional. I worked hard at her makeup because I could see some ravages that the camera might pick up. She was so professional that if she didn't speak, no one would ever have known she was high. xoxo Sandy
Sandy Linter Glad to see your comment. The voice is such a giveaway, I would have excuses about allergies or whatever when people would call me out. There was no denying it, yet I still would. I'm extremely lucky to have 13 months clean (today) because I know SO many people that didn't make it. It breaks my heart that so many young, beautiful, intelligent people die because of addiction (or consequences related to addiction). I hope you're doing well.
I remember watching Gia on HBO late one night after my parents went to bed, I was like 10...but it left a mark on me. Such a tragedy. I'm glad she isn't suffering anymore though. Angelina couldn't have been more perfect for the role. R.I.P G.M.C
We know she was high during this interview. It's striking how great she is at modeling anyway. Imagine if drugs or AIDS didn't get her. She could've been one of the greats who had a career all of her life.
@@jessicafashionlover2148 yes! The 80's was the last 'glamorous' decade. The 90's was about being 'real' and today it's gotten....dare I say....'TOO REAL'? I like how you put it though.
The people around her strike me as fickle and opportunistic, people who are there to ride the wave of success with you but disappear during hardship. There is something in Gia's eyes that tells me she was aware of this, and this fact saddened her even more. She has some of the saddest most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I think she knew the people she was surrounded by were fleeting..and that no one was truly there for her.
+Cat Peach I would love if you could share more personal stories about her. I have a real affinity towards her. My words are not a sign of a lack of empathy for Gia. When someone is beautiful and they make a commentary about the difficulties of their beauty, a lot of people roll their eyes in disdain. Like really? how hard is it to be beautiful? The fact is that some people are not equipped to deal with the overt attention their beauty brings them. Gia had the outer shell of a top model with the soul of a playful little boy. she did not know how to overcome the endless stream of attention her looks brought her, and became lost in that whirlwind. She was not inherently selfish, she was not ungrateful, her soul simply didn't match her physicality. She was a lost child who never grew up..and who never had the unwavering support of anyone in her life. her mom used her, sandy used her, so many people used her. and she didn't have the tools to deal with the continuous attention but eventual rejection her beauty brought her.
The book and movie about Gia was TRASH! Embellished on everything and didn't portray the Golden age of the modeling industry correctly. I was roommates with some of the people who helped make her. Tony V (fashion illustrator), Cohen Dee (hat designer), and Melino Stevens (Vogue Editor) were young and brilliant and considered the taste makers. And between Tony, Cohen and Melino, Gia became the IT girl overnight. Believe it or not, Gia was a model that was considered as "UGLY-beautiful". That sounds crazy given her beauty, but after decades of the same blonde hair, blue eyes, size zero, Cheryl Tiegs look, Gia's darker image was labeled Avant Garde, and not the typical ford model norm. She and the model named Esme who had the thick dark brows were praised for being "revolutionary" models. Her few shows (Perry Ellis) were funny in a sad way, she walked like truck driver lol. But she was on the cover of Vogue that season wearing Ellis (pink handknit sweater I think). Sadly most all are dead now (from AIDs and committing suicide), and the fashion world is a JOKE compared to what it used to be. Thanks to all the technology that exist, nowdays almost anybody can be famous with just a camera and some luck. In this moment of time people still had to have real raw talent, to make it big, with help of word of the mouth, back then celebrities like the Kardashians would NEVER be on the cover of Vogue, it would be considered an utter disgrace. Gia's last cosmopolitan photoshoot with Scavullo was sad, she looked TERRIBLE!!!! The HIV had already done a number, she looked like a walking corpse. Yeah, Gia was a mess. But she certainly wasn't the only one in that circle. Gia was just unlucky.
Jazzy E Sandy was a Bitch. She would play mind games with Gia and lead her on, then when things would start getting serious she would ignore Gia and go date other men.
no need to call her that but yes, sandy if you read the comments please stop pretending that you didn't go there with Gia. It is an insult to everyone's intelligence and to the authentic nature of her story. its confusing for you to sit there and say you were never involved with her intimately because you were a "100 percent straight" then in another breath say you fell in love with her. she chose you when she could have had anyone in the world to call her lover. and it's not a coincidence that chose you. You are the embodiment of her mother in many ways-being ten years older than her, blonde, and tremendously selfish, narcissistic, and self-involved.
After watching her HBO Biopic "Gia", I came to the conclusion that Gia didn't have any love for herself and she was looking for self love through others in an industry that embraced superficial things.
This. She’s a perfect example of what this industry and what fame can and will do 2 u. Her story lives w me since I heard it. So many celebrities/well known people have died the same way as her, but her death specifically makes me the saddest. I cry almost everytime I see her pictures. There’s something about how she was, and her energy. She deserved so much better
Yeah but she was also tormented by childhood demons maybe it's just me but in a weird way I see so many similarities between her and Marilyn Monroe not their stories are similar but they were both extraordinary physically beautiful women tormented by their backgrounds who fell victim to drug abuse because Marilyn was addicted to pharmaceuticals which is how she died sad
I have read the book and seen the movie, and all all I can say is no one really knows what was going on inside Gia' s head. Don't condemn her for her mistakes because we weren't there to witness why they were made. She seemed to have it all, but did she really? I appreciate her for who she was, the good, the bad, the beauty, and the pain. In the end, I pray she found peace and the love and acceptance that she had been searching for. It has been almost thirty years since her death, yet people are still in awe of her. That, my friends, is a legacy.
Yes she's was definitely high during this interview but I can also see so much sadness when they ask her if she's happy. she was obviously depressed and judging someone is only a sign of weakness. You don't specifically what kind of things she was going through. Also, the modeling industry is so hard to even deal with and adds so much pressure to a human. Look at all the anorexic models, are you goin to judge their decisions too? Think about it people
thebeereed she Who is good at interrupting him because he was trying to sidetrack her to further judge and humiliate her decisions. She was quick on her game I gave her that regardless if she was on drugs she’s not having it.
Agree but Gia succeeded in a industry where the chances of succeeding are like winning the lottery statistically actually you have a better chance of winning the lottery than becoming the supermodel so she definitely beat the odds in that way plenty of models work a decade or more and their careers never see the light of day what I feel modeling did was introduce her to heroin and that became her downfall
she had something special beyond physical...so sad her mother abandoned her and she had so much childhood trauma...people forget she was only 21 and alone in NY
keeping it real do the same, I just looked up Gia and it linked to the first supermodel. It mentioned other first supermodels. Honestly I didn't know who they were except for Dickerson. I can't stand Dickerson I think she is a mean nasty person. I think Dickerson calls herself the first supermodel. Gia was a messed-up beautiful, drug addict. Maybe she would have gotten her life together in time. The modeling field is nothing I really care thzt much about.
Angelina should've done a biography based on Janice and Cindy Crawford should've been the biography about Gia because that's all I see Angelina as when I watch that movie, I don't see Gia in Angelina's performance & portrayal almost entirely AT ALL, that's Janice's crazy ass! Yes little Gia was quite a wild child but she just still does not come across as the way Angelina portrayed her to had supposedly really have been like or looked like or acted like or modeled like in so many ways at all when you look at & examine the real Gia compared to that biography, she looked & seemed more like Janice Dickinson's annoying ass.
Dylan Gale Gia surpasses umm Cindy Crawfords beauty, by far! In fact, they tried to replace Gia w Cindy, CINDY FALLS DEAD SHORT w her hidious mole she doesnt hold a candle to Gia😂😂😂
Gia's time on earth was short but she was so way beyond her years! Those who are connected to gia as I was felt something special about her. Not just a face that could sell magazines or products. If you are still one of those people that hold Gia in a special place in your heart...I think you understand. She is a true original. You feel connected to her! Keep her alive...always!
I met Gia a few times back in the late 70's, Nothing serious though. She was even prettier in person, some days she would hang around in the Art studios I would have coffee at. Some days she would be very nice and bubbly, other days she wouldn't be very nice at all and scream at people, then storm out of the building and disappear for hours, sometimes days. I didn't even know she died until 1990! She was everywhere it seemed, then one day...just nothing. like she never even existed...
She's a legend,and when she dead,know one remember.i don't know she's a gorgoeus supermodel till i know film Gia,because i never see her name in the list top supermodel in the history,i just see popular name like cindy,kate,twiggy,naomi,tyra....Gia's so beatifull,gorgoeus,wild. It's so sad (and forgive my english)
Many women who knew/worked with her said that she would kiss/grab/make unwanted advances to them. If she was around today, she would be sued for sexual harassment. Just sayin.
i think gia was a very smart woman. those who never get lost or confused are people who never question. people who are perpetually enslaved by a fucked up society. and they are very proud of it.
I see Gia as the Marilyn Monroe of Modelling. There is no one like her before or since. She has this special allure and charisma. Not even Cindy who was kind of the Gia 2.0 at the beginning captured her essence.
Cindy could never lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it's no shade to her but Gia was a goddess she was hawt to me she's far more beautiful than Cindy and while Cindy was attractive she was more All American wholesome cheerleader homecoming queen type of beauty Gia was hypnotic no comparison
People only hype this chick up because of the Angelina Jolie movie and the fact that she died young. In her era, Gia was nowhere near as known as Christie Brinkley or Cheryl Tiegs and to pretend that a prime Cindy Crawford wasn’t on her level is downright comical. She was pretty yes, but FAR from the most beautiful model of all time. Everyone becomes mythical when they have an untimely death and a movie made about their life and Gia is no exception.
You all need to stop with the sympathetic praise worshipping. You didn’t know anything about this woman like other models who probably led devastating lives. So trashing other models seems pretentious. She was stunningly beautiful when that makeup was put on. However, ppl only hyped her because of the movie decades ago. She was a troubled soul not an icon or legend. She’s a cautionary tale of being young and acquiring too much too soon esp when you’re emotionally unstable.
@@lindsaymays7206 I don't think you have to be "the most beautiful of all time" to be considered special or unique in the modeling world. Unlike a lot of other models, Gia did not need plastic surgery or a lot of makeup to work the cameras and she had edge to her look. If you look at the photos of Gia and Janice Dickenson and other models you will see that Gia did not even have the typical model's body for that time because she was more voluptuous
I actually think Angelina did a really good job of portraying her. The way Gia, stands, and talks, and stares. It's kind of creepy how well she portrayed Gia.
@@princesstna925well she said after playing gia she was really fucked up and connected really well with gia as a person. she even tried to pay a hitman to kill her, but the hitman felt mercy and couldn’t do it
I remember seeing her on magazine covers in the supermarket back in the day. The first time I saw her, I thought she was Valerie Bertinelli all made up - and then realized it was someone else. Cindy Crawford said on MTV that her nickname was "LIttle Gia". If I remember, Gia's death wasn't reported on the news right away. It was one of those sad stories of someone who had achieved fame, disappeared, and then resurfaced as a cautionary tale.
Oh Gia, so ridiculously gorgeous and lying thru her teeth in this interview. High as hell and put on a fake accent to sound more upscale. Makes me sad.
Hahaha! Yea it's pretty funny how she's dampening her voice. lt's lower and softer. They told her to do that though. ''Yeeees l _guess_ you could say that l diiid.'' xD
pup lover She had some kind of coach to help her lose her accent . She was more like the character Kay Rivvers in the movie "Desert Hearts ". More confident/ aggressive .
She may have been high and lying but I love the way she talks. Also, even if celebrities were asked to talk that way on camera, I think it's way better than the vulgarity that is so common nowadays. Besides, I don't think she needed to "try to" sound sexy. I could have gotten pregnant just listening to her.
Fuck how she talked dickheads a damn icon that died to a disease ppl ignore.get a grip she is gone who cares how she talked 4 this fucking video ppl took her away
In Francesco Scavullo's second book on Women, I could tell Gia was unwell. Scavullo was very kind to her. She was sick having contracted HIV probably from a dirty needle. I loved her. Patti Hansen was gorgeous. And Rene Russo was my favorite model, humble. Way Bandy made these models stunning. AIDS wiped out the greatest makeup artists, designers ; just the whole fashion industry. It was horrible.
I read just about everyone's comments and yes its a shame that a beautiful person died over such a horrible addiction but not only that just because she was on heroin doesn't give anyone the right to be disrespectful back then it wasn't as easy to get off drugs with the kind of help we have now and I say this cause I was once on heroin and I'm still finding my addiction till this day even tho I'm sober now I thank God for giving me a second chance at life and not picking up stds or hiv people can learn from her story and know that they are not alone with this addiction
Being born and raised in Philly as Gia was and surrounded by drug abusers I see the pain of trying to express herself (although high) on her face. She had to be careful not to say certain things (especially what she really wanted to say) because she was already struggling to keep work due to her addiction. She needed help but they wanted her face even if it meant her life and the industry got what it wanted...obviously.
I’m taking the time to let you know that I actually did pray for you. I hope that God protects you from whatever is troubling you at the moment, and that you can be restored to the best version of yourself. Anything is possible. ❤️
This November will be the 30th anniversary of her death. She was IT when I was in junior high, then she just disappeared. I distinctly remember hearing that she had died of AIDS, because it was just unheard of at that time for a woman to have HIV or AIDS. It was shocking, but incredibly sad. I hope she's at peace.
I know right that part I was upset about. She work with very high end fashion designers. I also feel like the model industry chewed her up cause she was probably so vulnerable. And I felt like they replaced her with Cindy Crawford. You can tell Cindy became gia and it’s freaky how much they look alike. It was like the fashion world just erased her. All they cared about was getting the right shots for their magazines. Plus the modeling world was pretty cutthroat back then. They would give models pills so they don’t eat and so they can stay thin. It was a lot I’m sure they probably still do that today but back then it was different. If more people knew who Gia was they can see she was replaced by Cindy
Stunning Gia was the coolest so down to earth not vein or materialistic very loving love her and how playful she was with her partner Sandy...... Gia was wild and free spirited a breath of fresh air so real......
With the rise of the Internet, more and more people are hearing her story. When I first heard about Gia, no one else seemed to know about her, but as I can see from the post over 1 million people have viewed this.
Francesco was so good to her. I watched the movie Gia and I can't get her out of my head Im an ex-heroin addict and it's just so sad what happened to her. I really think if her mother wouldn't have left her she would have been way better off I think that one thing broke her.
one of the most beautiful girls i have seen, perfect features.. also modest..depth in her glance.. great presence..angelina Jolie seems uninteresting conpared to her.. pity about her drug addict in..
Poor Gia! For anyone dealing with drugs or alcohol get help and get sober. Getting sober was the best thing I coulda done for myself and my family. God loves you!
She doesn't have to be a procuct of her parents or the people who worked with her or her lovers. There isn't always someone to blame. She just took drugs, that lead to heroin and it gripped her sadly taking her life via HIV. There isn't always a"reason" for this kind of thing. Anyone could get addicted to drugs and (especially at this time where people were far less educted about the spreading of AIDS etc) catch HIV. I hope her story helps at least one person to straighten out their life.
Actually at this time people didn't even know that HIV existed. They were just starting to see AIDS and it was rarely diagnosed before people were really sick. That's why it was killing people at epidemic proportions because there was no test and and no treatment and they barely knew anything about prevention either. We're starting to see more cases in younger people these days because education has dropped off. To the young people out there, please educate and protect yourselves. ❤
@@Dzanarika1 Swagger does NOT have to be "attractive." It means you have your own unique style. The way Gia dressed and walked was unique back then in the modeling world
Gia out of all the super models that have walked the catwalks from all over the world, you were the most beautiful of them all baby girl. R.I.P we miss you girl.. 💜💜
Gia 😭 I wish someone that cared more like a gf of hers could have loved her better and been there for her. I can't believe so many just left her. I and many others wouldn't have
Gia you are a perfect person you were to good for this judgemental superficial world..... I love the way you talk walk smoke you are so adorable you had no idea how gorgeous you are I can see you loved from your heart I miss you see you on the other side gorgeous lady.....
Wow, I remember this scene from the movie, I didn't realize how accuaretly they kept the ?s in the interview(or even that it was taken so literally from an actual interview). Although in the movie, Angie plays her as much more obviously high. One of my all time fav movies ever, Angelina does a phenomenol job capturing Gia's spirit & downward spiral. Also the love story w/ Linda, her girlfriend, is so beautifully done & I adore Elizabeth Mitchell as Linda!!
Androgynous beauty. An Aquarian so far ahead of the time that she felt alienated in her own body. This condition of alienation allowed others to appropriate her body for commercial ends. RIP Gia‼️
ask the others drug addicts or recovering one , she is realy high in this interview, and the scene in the mocie before this interview is a heroin scene, not cocaine , but RIP Gia, i saw the movie yesterday and i like it, i saw it 10 years ago for the first time and i liked then too. And the part where Angelina Jolie is acting this interview is very original!!! Bravo!
Modelling is just about how to sell yourself if you dig deeper you understand that it is somewhat of slavery. No wonder some people become broken like Gia.
Omg my heart breaks everytime i see something about this incredible being she had so much to offer to this world gone too soon may her precious soul rest in peace
Just finished watching the movie starring Angelina Jolie, so interesting seeing this interview and in the movie them shooting this interview and showing that she used drugs right before this interview in the bathroom
Everyone who asks "Why didn't these people help her?" I mean, it's obvious she had a mental problem, and if you don't know what's like dealing with a person with mental illness and drug abuse, you don't know NOTHING ABOUT HOW HARD THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE ARE TO TREAT. Specially if the person doesn't want help, they'll always lie to you and the doctors. You can't trust, you can't do nothing if the person don't realize they need help. I say this 'cause I have borderline personality, my sister committed suicide and my mom is bipolar. You live in hell trying to help.
I was at my lowest point last year and I saw Gia's spirit at the foot of my bed. I would think about her all the time and if she was at peace. I wouldn't stop researching about her and wouldn't leave it alone so that's why I think she appeared to me. It was the most calm experience I've had. I ALWAYS thought if I saw a ghost that I would have a heart attack but when I looked at her I just felt all peace and she didn't say anything but had some kind of telekinesis ability that told me to go back to sleep...so I did. I ran away to NJ last summer (I live in Ohio) and I went to my aunt's house right on the edge of philly, where Gia lived. I remember passing through Pennsylvania and just thinking that I was in Gia's state again! Her gravesite was about 20 minutes from where I was and I planned on stopping by before I hit the highway on my way back home. I totally forgot all about it and I was already like 30 minutes into my drive home. I started crying because I really wanted to see if I could see her gravesite and I FORGOT. I was all alone and the song "Pictures of you" by the cure was playing. I realized that she had already showed her self to me and that she was at peace and that I will always have the pictures of her and to remember the message she was trying to get across to me... just to leave it at rest and to know she is at peace with herself 💓 I'll never ever forget this story and I wanted to just share it where I could to ease the sadness when it comes to Gia and how she went out. I promise all of you that I know what I saw and that Gia's spirit is at peace with herself 💗
Fashion industry in that time wanted models to have that "fire" in their eyes - and they didn't care if it was caused by heroin. And after they had to stop that practice, it gave us only 10 years of "supermodel era"...Claudia Schiffer was the last one of them. After her - models started to die again - but this time the cause was anorexia. And despite all alerts regarding to that - models still look as hangers. I think Gaultier did noble job presenting fat model in his last fashion show
And Angelina did an awesome job I had to stop myself from crying many times .....I mean she was alone and being a model leaves u an empty shell. ...she just wanted to feel good
She's very high. much prettier than Angelina. The point of that movie was to make her look like a mess who couldn't be saved. Something to ease the conscience of the people who knew her.
She was ambitious and was multi faceted. Layers. She could be anything she wanted to be. Au'natural and pretty or made up and sexy. She was versatile in a way no other model could capture. Her dark melancholy eyes gave extraordinary depth. She also was very tall and fit but not malnourished. She was looking for love but just couldn't find it, so she found it in drugs. May she me with love now. RIP Gia 🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸
She looks so lost and sad in this interview. The amount of young models who became drug addicts and died back then is just crazy. Heartbreaking, really...
Mette V Thats exactly what i told my girlfriend before i even read your comment. Poor girl. So sad. She was gorgeous
Mette V Ikr
She is completely strung out. She is high.
She's trashed that's why lol!
Bad lifestyle for models esp back then...drug addicts, smoking, alcohol, no food to stay thin...body and soul destroying
It’s beyond disgusting that no one from the fashion industry attended her funeral or even acknowledged her death.

I like how the "vogue editor" in the movie said "fashion is advertising. And for every dollar you earn, someone has to pay."
I was afraid of the drugs, the way people used them

She is overrated. I mean, she is a pretty woman. But she looks ordinary.

Thanks to all the technology that exist, nowdays almost anybody can be famous with just a camera and some luck. In this moment of time people still had to have real raw talent, to make it big, with help of word of the mouth, back then celebrities like the Kardashians would NEVER be on the cover of Vogue, it would be considered an utter disgrace. Gia's last cosmopolitan photoshoot with Scavullo was sad, she looked TERRIBLE!!!! The HIV had already done a number, she looked like a walking corpse. Yeah, Gia was a mess. But she certainly wasn't the only one in that circle. Gia was just unlucky.
Jazzy E Sandy was a Bitch. She would play mind games with Gia and lead her on, then when things would start getting serious she would ignore Gia and go date other men.
no need to call her that but yes, sandy if you read the comments please stop pretending that you didn't go there with Gia. It is an insult to everyone's intelligence and to the authentic nature of her story. its confusing for you to sit there and say you were never involved with her intimately because you were a "100 percent straight" then in another breath say you fell in love with her. she chose you when she could have had anyone in the world to call her lover. and it's not a coincidence that chose you. You are the embodiment of her mother in many ways-being ten years older than her, blonde, and tremendously selfish, narcissistic, and self-involved.
what on earth is wrong with some of you? Yes she got it made and was successful and you're actually jealous of a dead girl!!??? Wtf?
After watching her HBO Biopic "Gia", I came to the conclusion that Gia didn't have any love for herself and she was looking for self love through others in an industry that embraced superficial things.
1:44
She was aware. She called them vultures 😂
I love watching clips of Gia... she is an example of the best and worst aspects of the living the American dream
mostly the worst.
This. She’s a perfect example of what this industry and what fame can and will do 2 u. Her story lives w me since I heard it. So many celebrities/well known people have died the same way as her, but her death specifically makes me the saddest. I cry almost everytime I see her pictures. There’s something about how she was, and her energy. She deserved so much better
Yeah but she was also tormented by childhood demons maybe it's just me but in a weird way I see so many similarities between her and Marilyn Monroe not their stories are similar but they were both extraordinary physically beautiful women tormented by their backgrounds who fell victim to drug abuse because Marilyn was addicted to pharmaceuticals which is how she died sad
I have read the book and seen the movie, and all all I can say is no one really knows what was going on inside Gia' s head. Don't condemn her for her mistakes because we weren't there to witness why they were made. She seemed to have it all, but did she really? I appreciate her for who she was, the good, the bad, the beauty, and the pain. In the end, I pray she found peace and the love and acceptance that she had been searching for. It has been almost thirty years since her death, yet people are still in awe of her. That, my friends, is a legacy.
Amen🙏🏼
well said
Concordo plenamente contigo. Hoje 10/04/2024
wow she soundes almost as beautiful as she looks. I ritualistically come back online to remember gia. i will never forget her story
I do too.
You can see the emptiness through her eyes...
that particular emptiness is the signature of heroin and I find it very recognizable.
Yeah you can totally hear it in her voice too
You mean the drugs in her eyes
All CLONES have empty EYES
She was absolutely beautiful....
Yes she's was definitely high during this interview but I can also see so much sadness when they ask her if she's happy. she was obviously depressed and judging someone is only a sign of weakness. You don't specifically what kind of things she was going through. Also, the modeling industry is so hard to even deal with and adds so much pressure to a human. Look at all the anorexic models, are you goin to judge their decisions too? Think about it people
Drug addicts are not happy
thebeereed she Who is good at interrupting him because he was trying to sidetrack her to further judge and humiliate her decisions. She was quick on her game I gave her that regardless if she was on drugs she’s not having it.
Agree but Gia succeeded in a industry where the chances of succeeding are like winning the lottery statistically actually you have a better chance of winning the lottery than becoming the supermodel so she definitely beat the odds in that way plenty of models work a decade or more and their careers never see the light of day what I feel modeling did was introduce her to heroin and that became her downfall
🙏❤️🙏
Yah she was she looks out of it poor thing
she had something special beyond physical...so sad her mother abandoned her and she had so much childhood trauma...people forget she was only 21 and alone in NY
She was amazing the trolls need to stfu
I hate the friggin Janice Dickinson says she was the first Super Model...Sorry Janice, Gia was first and you are second.
Jason Strader there were super models before Gia and Dickerson. Dickenson just wants the attention
keeping it real do the same, I just looked up Gia and it linked to the first supermodel. It mentioned other first supermodels. Honestly I didn't know who they were except for Dickerson. I can't stand Dickerson I think she is a mean nasty person. I think Dickerson calls herself the first supermodel. Gia was a messed-up beautiful, drug addict. Maybe she would have gotten her life together in time. The modeling field is nothing I really care thzt much about.
Lisa Fonssagrives and Dorian Leigh
Angelina should've done a biography based on Janice and Cindy Crawford should've been the biography about Gia because that's all I see Angelina as when I watch that movie, I don't see Gia in Angelina's performance & portrayal almost entirely AT ALL, that's Janice's crazy ass! Yes little Gia was quite a wild child but she just still does not come across as the way Angelina portrayed her to had supposedly really have been like or looked like or acted like or modeled like in so many ways at all when you look at & examine the real Gia compared to that biography, she looked & seemed more like Janice Dickinson's annoying ass.
Dylan Gale Gia surpasses umm Cindy Crawfords beauty, by far! In fact, they tried to replace Gia w Cindy, CINDY FALLS DEAD SHORT w her hidious mole she doesnt hold a candle to Gia😂😂😂
GIA WAS A TRUE BEAUTY TO ME!! NO ONE WILL EVER BE LIKE GIA!!
Childhood **auma does *ha*.
Gia's time on earth was short but she was so way beyond her years! Those who are connected to gia as I was felt something special about her. Not just a face that could sell magazines or products. If you are still one of those people that hold Gia in a special place in your heart...I think you understand. She is a true original. You feel connected to her! Keep her alive...always!
She was great. Gia did her best under tremendous circumstances.
I met Gia a few times back in the late 70's, Nothing serious though. She was even prettier in person, some days she would hang around in the Art studios I would have coffee at. Some days she would be very nice and bubbly, other days she wouldn't be very nice at all and scream at people, then storm out of the building and disappear for hours, sometimes days. I didn't even know she died until 1990! She was everywhere it seemed, then one day...just nothing. like she never even existed...
Jesse New sadness
She's a legend,and when she dead,know one remember.i don't know she's a gorgoeus supermodel till i know film Gia,because i never see her name in the list top supermodel in the history,i just see popular name like cindy,kate,twiggy,naomi,tyra....Gia's so beatifull,gorgoeus,wild. It's so sad (and forgive my english)
Jesse New lucky you
Many women who knew/worked with her said that she would kiss/grab/make unwanted advances to them. If she was around today, she would be sued for sexual harassment. Just sayin.
Jesse New sad really
Thousands of models have come and gone and she's one of the few that personally never leaves my mind.
Nem do meu pensamentos também
i think gia was a very smart woman. those who never get lost or confused are people who never question. people who are perpetually enslaved by a fucked up society. and they are very proud of it.
hansenbillard She may have been smart, but she was a dumpster fire. Not exactly a role model.
hansenbillard you're totally right!👏🏻
Yeah so smart she ended up dead at 26
1:26 that smile is extraordinary!
All of her is extraordinary😉😉😉😉
Like Farrah Fawcett
@@agnesbougerol.6408 ABSOLUTLY but that smile 💗😍
Don't judge her...You should have an understanding for her.
No heroin addict/ aids patient got respect ever. But she should because she had a pretty face ? Laughable
I see Gia as the Marilyn Monroe of Modelling. There is no one like her before or since. She has this special allure and charisma. Not even Cindy who was kind of the Gia 2.0 at the beginning captured her essence.
Here here 🥂
Cindy could never lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it's no shade to her but Gia was a goddess she was hawt to me she's far more beautiful than Cindy and while Cindy was attractive she was more All American wholesome cheerleader homecoming queen type of beauty Gia was hypnotic no comparison
People only hype this chick up because of the Angelina Jolie movie and the fact that she died young. In her era, Gia was nowhere near as known as Christie Brinkley or Cheryl Tiegs and to pretend that a prime Cindy Crawford wasn’t on her level is downright comical. She was pretty yes, but FAR from the most beautiful model of all time. Everyone becomes mythical when they have an untimely death and a movie made about their life and Gia is no exception.
You all need to stop with the sympathetic praise worshipping. You didn’t know anything about this woman like other models who probably led devastating lives. So trashing other models seems pretentious. She was stunningly beautiful when that makeup was put on. However, ppl only hyped her because of the movie decades ago. She was a troubled soul not an icon or legend. She’s a cautionary tale of being young and acquiring too much too soon esp when you’re emotionally unstable.
@@lindsaymays7206 I don't think you have to be "the most beautiful of all time" to be considered special or unique in the modeling world. Unlike a lot of other models, Gia did not need plastic surgery or a lot of makeup to work the cameras and she had edge to her look. If you look at the photos of Gia and Janice Dickenson and other models you will see that Gia did not even have the typical model's body for that time because she was more voluptuous
i broke down in tears. omg her movie had me bawling.
Krystin G Me too. she was from my hometown of Philadelphia.
Gia put Janice & all the others to shame. She was gorgeous
JENNA see im just seeing this an im like janice who lmao gia omg timeless.....
Janice was far more stunning then gia..look up old pics of her when she started
Insomniac Janice wishes she looked like Gia. Now, Janice looks like an old meth head.😤
Insomniac Janice was gorgeous too now
Gia was way more beautiful than Janice. Her face was more symmetrical and she had an exotic beauty to her. Janice just looks cracked out.
Makeup did nothing for her. On the contrary, it made her look just like one more pretty "babe". Without it she was spectacular, a wild beauty.
I actually think Angelina did a really good job of portraying her. The way Gia, stands, and talks, and stares. It's kind of creepy how well she portrayed Gia.
You know she played the same type character in Girl Interrupted it makes me wonder if that's just a natural Angelina Jolie type.
@@princesstna925well she said after playing gia she was really fucked up and connected really well with gia as a person. she even tried to pay a hitman to kill her, but the hitman felt mercy and couldn’t do it
I remember seeing her on magazine covers in the supermarket back in the day. The first time I saw her, I thought she was Valerie Bertinelli all made up - and then realized it was someone else. Cindy Crawford said on MTV that her nickname was "LIttle Gia". If I remember, Gia's death wasn't reported on the news right away. It was one of those sad stories of someone who had achieved fame, disappeared, and then resurfaced as a cautionary tale.
In her novel Gia said she HATED that interview and felt they showed her in a way that they wanted the viewer to see. I believe it.
Oh Gia, so ridiculously gorgeous and lying thru her teeth in this interview. High as hell and put on a fake accent to sound more upscale. Makes me sad.
Hahaha! Yea it's pretty funny how she's dampening her voice. lt's lower and softer. They told her to do that though. ''Yeeees l _guess_ you could say that l diiid.'' xD
justme0368 yes, Christy Brinkley talked just like that also
pup lover She had some kind of coach to help her lose her accent . She was more like the character Kay Rivvers in the movie "Desert Hearts ". More confident/ aggressive .
She may have been high and lying but I love the way she talks. Also, even if celebrities were asked to talk that way on camera, I think it's way better than the vulgarity that is so common nowadays. Besides, I don't think she needed to "try to" sound sexy. I could have gotten pregnant just listening to her.
Fuck how she talked dickheads a damn icon that died to a disease ppl ignore.get a grip she is gone who cares how she talked 4 this fucking video ppl took her away
In Francesco Scavullo's second book on Women, I could tell Gia was unwell.
Scavullo was very kind to her. She was sick having contracted HIV probably from a dirty needle.
I loved her.
Patti Hansen was gorgeous.
And Rene Russo was my favorite model, humble.
Way Bandy made these models stunning.
AIDS wiped out the greatest makeup artists, designers ; just the whole fashion industry.
It was horrible.
She did threw needles
I read just about everyone's comments and yes its a shame that a beautiful person died over such a horrible addiction but not only that just because she was on heroin doesn't give anyone the right to be disrespectful back then it wasn't as easy to get off drugs with the kind of help we have now and I say this cause I was once on heroin and I'm still finding my addiction till this day even tho I'm sober now I thank God for giving me a second chance at life and not picking up stds or hiv people can learn from her story and know that they are not alone with this addiction
congratz
she got clean but sadly had contracted hiv
Being born and raised in Philly as Gia was and surrounded by drug abusers I see the pain of trying to express herself (although high) on her face. She had to be careful not to say certain things (especially what she really wanted to say) because she was already struggling to keep work due to her addiction. She needed help but they wanted her face even if it meant her life and the industry got what it wanted...obviously.
What a beautiful and vulnerable spirit. I’m sending strength and love to anyone reading this. ❤️👸🏾
I’m taking the time to let you know that I actually did pray for you. I hope that God protects you from whatever is troubling you at the moment, and that you can be restored to the best version of yourself. Anything is possible. ❤️
This November will be the 30th anniversary of her death. She was IT when I was in junior high, then she just disappeared. I distinctly remember hearing that she had died of AIDS, because it was just unheard of at that time for a woman to have HIV or AIDS. It was shocking, but incredibly sad. I hope she's at peace.
No one from the fashion industry attended her funeral sadly 😢 She was so young only 26 RIP
I know right that part I was upset about. She work with very high end fashion designers. I also feel like the model industry chewed her up cause she was probably so vulnerable. And I felt like they replaced her with Cindy Crawford. You can tell Cindy became gia and it’s freaky how much they look alike. It was like the fashion world just erased her. All they cared about was getting the right shots for their magazines. Plus the modeling world was pretty cutthroat back then. They would give models pills so they don’t eat and so they can stay thin. It was a lot I’m sure they probably still do that today but back then it was different. If more people knew who Gia was they can see she was replaced by Cindy
Stunning Gia was the coolest so down to earth not vein or materialistic very loving love her and how playful she was with her partner Sandy...... Gia was wild and free spirited a breath of fresh air so real......
It is a face paced world in the modeling industry and her fame was overnight. They found that girl and she was not ready for it.
She’s unbelievably captivating, would have loved to have met her.
Gia was very beautiful and photogenic to me. RIP :(
I like that part when she smiling big, like a beautiful lion. She was a Native Beauty. R.I.P Gia.
It's too bad she had to pass so young. She seemed like a tormented soul, but a beautiful one at that.
She was struggling here and it’s so in your face. I wonder how many people rewatched this with new eyes.
The roses would weep because of her beauty, in envy.
With the rise of the Internet, more and more people are hearing her story. When I first heard about Gia, no one else seemed to know about her, but as I can see from the post over 1 million people have viewed this.
Heroin changed her entire voice. Her eyes are empty...
Francesco was so good to her. I watched the movie Gia and I can't get her out of my head Im an ex-heroin addict and it's just so sad what happened to her. I really think if her mother wouldn't have left her she would have been way better off I think that one thing broke her.
one of the most beautiful girls i have seen, perfect features.. also modest..depth in her glance.. great presence..angelina Jolie seems uninteresting conpared to her.. pity about her drug addict in..
This is so sad May God Rest her soul . Rest In Paradise Beautiful
Poor Gia! For anyone dealing with drugs or alcohol get help and get sober. Getting sober was the best thing I coulda done for myself and my family. God loves you!
She doesn't have to be a procuct of her parents or the people who worked with her or her lovers. There isn't always someone to blame. She just took drugs, that lead to heroin and it gripped her sadly taking her life via HIV. There isn't always a"reason" for this kind of thing. Anyone could get addicted to drugs and (especially at this time where people were far less educted about the spreading of AIDS etc) catch HIV. I hope her story helps at least one person to straighten out their life.
i agree absolutely..
nay eds
yes Stephanie?
Actually at this time people didn't even know that HIV existed. They were just starting to see AIDS and it was rarely diagnosed before people were really sick. That's why it was killing people at epidemic proportions because there was no test and and no treatment and they barely knew anything about prevention either. We're starting to see more cases in younger people these days because education has dropped off. To the young people out there, please educate and protect yourselves. ❤
nay eds HIV didn't kill her AIDS did... There's a difference js
Such beautiful but truly SAD soulless eyes. R.I.P
Reminds me of 1960’s model/ actress Edie Sedgwick. So incredibly beautiful, troubled, and ultimate tragic. Very sad
Check out that swagger as she's walking down the street. Then the transformation through make-up and the medium of film. Truly amazing.
She walked lika a truck driver! What is attractive about that?
@@Dzanarika1 Swagger does NOT have to be "attractive." It means you have your own unique style. The way Gia dressed and walked was unique back then in the modeling world
1:42 .. “it’s a lot of vultures around you”🥺😫
Gia was beautiful and Gia was the first super model and she had put other models to shame and Cindy Crawford was called Baby Gia
Before plastic surgery became common
Mia Beauty was pure 🌹
They had facial beauty surgery in the 40s
gospelevans but it was subtle and tasteful back then. Since the 90’s it’s become really grotesque and freakish.
She seems so much older than just 26!
In this interview, she is 22 years old.
Not much to say other than how fantastic she is and how lucky us ex drug addicts are just to be alive.
The first and the best model ever!!!
Gia out of all the super models that have walked the catwalks from all over the world, you were the most beautiful of them all baby girl. R.I.P we miss you girl.. 💜💜
She's most beautiful in all most.
Hope she's in the most top supermodel list.
Gia 😭 I wish someone that cared more like a gf of hers could have loved her better and been there for her. I can't believe so many just left her. I and many others wouldn't have
I was obsessed with Gia as a kid
Gia you are a perfect person you were to good for this judgemental superficial world..... I love the way you talk walk smoke you are so adorable you had no idea how gorgeous you are I can see you loved from your heart I miss you see you on the other side gorgeous lady.....
A perfect person who smokes and takes drugs...
She’s just so beautiful
Wow, I remember this scene from the movie, I didn't realize how accuaretly they kept the ?s in the interview(or even that it was taken so literally from an actual interview). Although in the movie, Angie plays her as much more obviously high. One of my all time fav movies ever, Angelina does a phenomenol job capturing Gia's spirit & downward spiral. Also the love story w/ Linda, her girlfriend, is so beautifully done & I adore Elizabeth Mitchell as Linda!!
Such beauty but yet such sadness
Androgynous beauty. An Aquarian so far ahead of the time that she felt alienated in her own body. This condition of alienation allowed others to appropriate her body for commercial ends. RIP Gia‼️
ask the others drug addicts or recovering one , she is realy high in this interview, and the scene in the mocie before this interview is a heroin scene, not cocaine , but RIP Gia, i saw the movie yesterday and i like it, i saw it 10 years ago for the first time and i liked then too. And the part where Angelina Jolie is acting this interview is very original!!! Bravo!
Gia Slayyed!! She's the queen of Modelling.. Gone to soon ❤
omg i am in tears. she was gorgeous. RIP. She would have been 51.
drugs: "you're free of it now?" "oh yes!"
SO in love with this woman
She’s so gorgeous
She looks way better without makeup…Way better. She should’ve been the natural beauty model.❤
May her soul and memory shine upon.💕
Modelling is just about how to sell yourself if you dig deeper you understand that it is somewhat of slavery.
No wonder some people become broken like Gia.
Oh I just love hearing her voice here and her manner of speaking.
In Memory of Gia Carangi🌹
She was complete as a Model. Her Aura was amazing
"Vultures around you".
Omg my heart breaks everytime i see something about this incredible being she had so much to offer to this world gone too soon may her precious soul rest in peace
Just finished watching the movie starring Angelina Jolie, so interesting seeing this interview and in the movie them shooting this interview and showing that she used drugs right before this interview in the bathroom
Everyone who asks "Why didn't these people help her?" I mean, it's obvious she had a mental problem, and if you don't know what's like dealing with a person with mental illness and drug abuse, you don't know NOTHING ABOUT HOW HARD THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE ARE TO TREAT. Specially if the person doesn't want help, they'll always lie to you and the doctors. You can't trust, you can't do nothing if the person don't realize they need help. I say this 'cause I have borderline personality, my sister committed suicide and my mom is bipolar. You live in hell trying to help.
I was at my lowest point last year and I saw Gia's spirit at the foot of my bed. I would think about her all the time and if she was at peace. I wouldn't stop researching about her and wouldn't leave it alone so that's why I think she appeared to me. It was the most calm experience I've had. I ALWAYS thought if I saw a ghost that I would have a heart attack but when I looked at her I just felt all peace and she didn't say anything but had some kind of telekinesis ability that told me to go back to sleep...so I did. I ran away to NJ last summer (I live in Ohio) and I went to my aunt's house right on the edge of philly, where Gia lived. I remember passing through Pennsylvania and just thinking that I was in Gia's state again! Her gravesite was about 20 minutes from where I was and I planned on stopping by before I hit the highway on my way back home. I totally forgot all about it and I was already like 30 minutes into my drive home. I started crying because I really wanted to see if I could see her gravesite and I FORGOT. I was all alone and the song "Pictures of you" by the cure was playing. I realized that she had already showed her self to me and that she was at peace and that I will always have the pictures of her and to remember the message she was trying to get across to me... just to leave it at rest and to know she is at peace with herself 💓
I'll never ever forget this story and I wanted to just share it where I could to ease the sadness when it comes to Gia and how she went out. I promise all of you that I know what I saw and that Gia's spirit is at peace with herself 💗
Thank you for sharing this. It's nice to have that closure
i believe you. amy winehouse and i were very close friends and she’s also at peace
@@meg-ps6rs can you tell us about your message from Amy?
Goldrush Paranormal on RUclips did an incredible session with her spirit search it
Gia was beauty and sheer determination. May her soul rest in peace.
She's so beautiful❤A very haunting clip.
Fashion industry in that time wanted models to have that "fire" in their eyes - and they didn't care if it was caused by heroin.
And after they had to stop that practice, it gave us only 10 years of "supermodel era"...Claudia Schiffer was the last one of them.
After her - models started to die again - but this time the cause was anorexia.
And despite all alerts regarding to that - models still look as hangers.
I think Gaultier did noble job presenting fat model in his last fashion show
Gia was so beautiful
And Angelina did an awesome job I had to stop myself from crying many times .....I mean she was alone and being a model leaves u an empty shell. ...she just wanted to feel good
Her story is a sad one.. I hope you're resting peacefully!
I still can’t believe how cold and horrible her mother was.
she wasn't really into fashion she did it for drugs
What an incredibly magnetic beauty. What a voice. What a waste.
I love this movie. Angelia did a great job. Such a beautiful woman, but sad what she went through. Wow!
She's very high. much prettier than Angelina. The point of that movie was to make her look like a mess who couldn't be saved. Something to ease the conscience of the people who knew her.
She was ambitious and was multi faceted. Layers. She could be anything she wanted to be. Au'natural and pretty or made up and sexy. She was versatile in a way no other model could capture. Her dark melancholy eyes gave extraordinary depth. She also was very tall and fit but not malnourished. She was looking for love but just couldn't find it, so she found it in drugs. May she me with love now. RIP Gia 🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸❤🌸
A amazing woman that was lost :(
