Biography

About Cindy Margolis

Edited by the community

Cindy Margolis earned her place in internet history by becoming the first person to be downloaded one million times, a feat that landed her in the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as the most downloaded woman. At the height of her popularity in 1999, she was downloaded 70,000 times in a single day. She was later deposed by Danni Ashe in December 2000.

Born in Los Angeles on October 1, 1965, Margolis is an American glamour model and actress of Caucasian ethnicity. She started her career by creating a line of greeting cards featuring her in lingerie, which led to modeling for brands like Reebok, Vidal Sassoon, Coors, Hanes, and Sunkist. She also appeared as one of Barker's Beauties on The Price Is Right in 1995 and hosted The Cindy Margolis Show in 2000. In the early internet era, she built her own website and was named Yahoo! Internet Life's 'Queen of the Internet' from 1996 to 1999.

Margolis famously avoided nudity for years, maintaining a girl-next-door image. But in 2006, at age 40, she posed fully nude for Playboy's December issue, stating she wanted to inspire mothers and women her age. A portion of the proceeds from that issue went to Resolve, a charity supporting fertility treatment coverage. She also dabbled in poker, signing with the World Poker Tour in 2005 and Tropical Poker in 2006. She was married to Guy Starkman from 1998 to 2009 and has three children, including twins born via surrogate. Today, she remains known as a pioneering online personality and a symbol of early internet fame.
