Cindy Margolis

Model / Actor

Model Cindy Margolis has long promoted herself as the "most downloaded woman on the Internet," an unofficial reflection of her pinup popularity in the early Web boom days of the 1990s. A big blonde, Margolis is a model who specializes more in calendar and bikini shots than in high-fashion spreads. She appeared as a "Barker Beauty" on the game show The Price Is Right (1994-95) and as an enticing robot in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997, with Mike Myers and Elizabeth Hurley). Margolis also hosted In Your Dreams with Cindy Margolis (1999) and the short-lived late-night program The Cindy Margolis Show (2000). In 2006 she won in NBC's Celebrity Cooking Showdown and posed nude for Hugh Hefner's Playboy magazine.

Other top pinups of the early Internet era include Pamela Anderson, Laetitia Casta and Anna Nicole Smith.
