Hollywood, California - She posed three times for Playboy.  She epitomized what it means to be a Super Model.  And now she is preparing to join the ranks of what we call "older Americans."  But that has not slowed down Cindy Crawford, who turns 50 in a few short months, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Crawford has a new book entitled Becoming in which she says "I want to honor and acknowledge the girl I once was while embracing the woman I am today, and I even look forward to the wise woman I hope I will become in future decades."

If Cindy is aging, she's aging gracefully, says AMAC.  As she put it to a reporter recently: "there's so much to celebrate about the journey that you've taken, and we're so fortunate to be here, with our health.  This is my way of embracing it and celebrating, as opposed to being afraid of the number."
