Fact File

Cindy Margolis got her start as a model by creating her own line of greeting cards. After Cindy decided to put her own picture on the cards, talent agents started asking who the woman in the photo was. And that’s all it took to launch her career as one of America’s top glamour spokesmodels.

Cindy’s modeling career has been filled with highlights. She’s appeared as one of Barker's Beauties on “The Price Is Right,” and been featured in ads from Reebok, Vidal Sassoon, Coors, and Hanes. In addition, Cindy is listed in the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as the Internet’s "most downloaded person" in 1999. At the age of 34, the peak of her popularity, she was downloaded 70,000 times in a span of 24 hours.

In addition to her modeling career, Cindy has been an amateur poker player for some time. In November 2005, Margolis decided to do a bit more with her hobby. She teamed up with the World Poker Tour to become the new hostess for Chipleaders.com, a social networking site for poker players.

Cindy’s recent poker experience should help her in her battle against the pros, but just in case it doesn’t, she’ll be starting the game with 50% more chips than they’ll have. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see what the cards hold for Cindy in the Pro-Am Poker Equalizer.
