This has been highly debated for some time. Janice Dickson proclaims herself the first supermodel because of her claim that she coined the term "supermodel." Many have credited late model Gia Carangi (1960-1986) as being America's first supermodel, while others credit Dorian Leigh (1917-2008) who was one of the earliest known modeling icons in the fashion industry.
