The modeling world has said goodbye to one of its trailblazers.
British model Georgina Cooper, whose appearance in a Bon Jovi music video at 15 and notable front tooth gap spurred her rise to fame in the ‘90s, has died in Greece, according to her former agent Dean Goodman. She was 46.
“She loved Greece and told me that she was going back with her new husband,” Goodman told The Daily Mail, “but she has tragically died there a fortnight ago.”
Goodman shared that Cooper—who had ultimately retired from modeling to focus on raising her son Sonny—had been dealing with health problems over the past few years.
“Georgina had been unwell during Covid and had developed some health problems and had been in and out of hospital,” he continued. “But she had plans for the future. She had just married and was looking forward to her life. Everybody is devastated. She was a genuine superstar.”
