Dubbed the consummate "model-turned-mogul,"
Kathy Ireland is most well-known for appearing on
Sports Illustrated's most popular cover of the Swimsuit Edition in 1984. After that, she was featured in the issue consecutively for 13 years, ending her run in 1996.
Since then, Ireland has acted, written books, launched her own clothing lines, and founded her own marketing and design firm, Kathy Ireland Worldwide.
