Lauren Hutton interview watchers got a brisk tour through a life that did not begin with a master plan for modeling, acting or fashion fame, according to CBS News.
In a CBS News segment with Anthony Mason, Hutton looks back on the long, restless run that took her from early rejection by modeling agencies to a Revlon deal and a record-setting place in American fashion history.
CBS News says Hutton did not initially set out to become a model or an actress. Before her breakthrough, several agencies turned her down, with the report noting her gap-toothed look as part of the story, until Eileen Ford gave her a chance.
That chance became the start of a career with serious bragging rights. According to CBS News, Hutton went on to become the face of Revlon and, at one point, the highest-paid model in history.
What is Lauren Hutton known for?
Lauren Hutton is known as a supermodel and actress whose fashion career included a landmark Revlon role and a record number of American Vogue cover appearances, according to CBS News. The network says she still holds the record for the most covers on the U.S. edition of Vogue.
The Mason interview frames Hutton’s story as something wider than a fashion résumé. CBS News says she discusses an adventurous life without regrets, including time living among the bushmen of the Kalahari.
The segment also revisits one of the darkest chapters in that life: a motorcycle accident in 2000 that CBS News describes as near-fatal. The report does not detail the injuries or circumstances of the crash, but places it among the major turning points Hutton reflects on with Mason.
Even the roughest moments are not treated by Hutton as reasons for a rewrite. Speaking about the low points in her life, she tells Mason, “I’d do it again in a second,” according to CBS News.
That line lands as the thesis of the interview: rejection, risk, career heights and close calls, all folded into one unusually unsentimental life story.
The CBS News segment, titled “The adventurous life of supermodel Lauren Hutton,” was listed as an interview with Anthony Mason and originally broadcast Jan. 25, 2026, according to the network.
