Eldergays, tell me about Gia Carangi
Was she just a beautiful spoiled brat or was she truly damaged, which led her to drugs?
Reading how she moved to NYC from Philly, and immediately got signed to a top agency and began working with the top people in the modeling world is nuts. She even said herself she didn’t try to be a model, she just became one. She didn’t have to work for it. It was pretty much handed to her because everyone loved her look so much. She was unique at the time, as most models were still blonde and blue eyed Wasps. She was olive skinned with dark hair and dark eyes, and they loved it.
It’s so sad how quickly she allowed her career to deteriorate.
Why did her skin fall off when she was lifted off her hospital bed? That’s scary!!!
Any good books on her? I am interested. Also, is the Angelina Jolie movie any good?

There's already been repeated thread after repeated thread on this OP. Why did you find it necessary to come here and start another? Why? Why OP? Can you give us an intelligent, honest answer? Can you? Why would you come here and post this kind of shit yet AGAIN when there have already been so many prior threads on this EXACT same subject. Do you really think this is that damned interesting that it warrants another entire thread to be started? DO YOU??
Why couldn't you have done a search first OP? That would have been the polite thing to do. What you demonstrated was just plain selfishness. You have shown that you don't think about anybody but yourself. It's all about you and your own satisfaction. Next time before you post, do us all a favor and do a search. We don't need another duplicate thread just because of your laziness.

Like someone said, there has been multiple threads about her.
However, if you want a brief overview of her life, I recommend the section of Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women about the 1970s. I haven't read it, but my sister (who was one of those annoying teens that worshipped "tragic" women) loved the book Thing of Beauty.

Never enough Gia. Fabulous train wreck butch lesbian living at 200mph at the peak of NYCs decadence. Embodies everything raw, ruined and retro about the era. The lesbian version of the gay Orgy of the late 70s. Ending as it did for so many gay men - AIDS, addiction and loneliness forced to crawl back home broken. Not a role model but a fabulous story - and an Italian girl from Philly.
I don’t like Angelina - but her role as Gia nailed it and made that movie worth watching.
