Savannah Dickinson is an American actress born on February 24, 1994. Savannah is the daughter of supermodel, Janice Dickinson, widely known for her accomplished career as a model and contributions to the film industry, including and not limited to: "Bob Thunder: Internet Assassin," "Exposed," and "Wassup Rockers."

Janice has been debatably recognized as the first supermodel. Her distinct features validated her dominance of the modeling industry in the 70s and 80s.

Her daughter, Savannah, has also had her fair share of success as an actor in recent years, featuring in the Netflix film, "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile."

Savannah's mother had an eventful relationship with her sexuality during her prime days, and she addresses these jaw-dropping events in her book, "No Lifeguard on Duty." The book discusses how medical reports changed the model's mood in 1994.

Savannah Visited the Versace Show When She Was a Baby

Savannah is a February Pisces. Her mother, Janice, was trendy throughout the fourth quarter of the 1900s. Janice was born on February 15, 1955, in Brooklyn, New York City. She rose to fame as a model in the 70s, garnering massive deals and mingling with the Who's-Who of the late 1900s.

Savannah's mother married several times from 1977 to date, with the 2000s being the only decade she spent single. Savannah was born when Janice was unmarried between her second and third marriages.

Savannah has been privileged to a life of luxury from early on. Her mother, a judge on the reality TV show "America's Next Top Model," took her daughter backstage at a Louis Vuitton fashion show. At the same time, she was still an infant—Such is the exclusivity of life as a supermodel's child.

Savannah's mother paid close attention to her children when they were growing up. She was driven by the desire to be a better parent than her own. She put her career on hold to focus on her preferred role as a full-time mother. She said:

"'I will be a better parent than my parents ever were,' I promised myself, over and over. Of course, that wouldn't be too hard. A rabid dog would have been a better parent than my father."

Savannah Didn't Know Who Her Father Was until She Was 7

Savannah's birth was nothing short of dramatic. Her mother was legally single, and although dating film producer Micheal Birnbaum—Janice was receptive to the attention of other personalities in Hollywood.

When she got pregnant with Savannah, Janice was involved with three people: Micheal, an unnamed artist, and actor Sylvester Stallone who had separated from his model fiancée of five years, Jennifer Flavin, through a note delivered by FedEx. The decision was based on the prospect of a relationship with the supermodel.

When Janice gave birth to Savannah, it became public knowledge that her then-fiance of six months, Sylvester, was the father. However, a DNA test revealed that the child was, in fact, Micheal's.

Janice broke up with Micheal in the week that she was crucially intimate with her two sidemen. When the DNA results proved that Sylvester was not the father, he dished out the same fate to the supermodel—ending their engagement just six weeks after the birth.

After peacefully removing himself from Janice's life, Sylvester rekindled with his ex-fiancée, Jennifer, the following year. They married in '97 and had three daughters: Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.

At the time, Janice was sure that her newborn was Sylvesters, so much so that she gave the child the "Rocky" protagonist's Lastname. Savannah revealed via Instagram that she had only met her father aged seven and credits him for initiating her Kobe Bryant fandom.

Savannah made her desire to be an actress loud and clear. She appeared in a couple of productions in 2019: "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile" starring Zac Efron, and as a voice in the popular animation, "Family Guy." These have been followed up by several appearances in the years since.

Savannah is determined to find her feet in the film industry. She finds joy in taking 35mm stills of her friends. As far as acting goes, Savannah made an Instagram post of her on-set with Steve Buscemi and another exhibiting her skills. Exciting times are ahead for the ambitious actress.

Savannah Is Close to Janice Dickinson

Savannah shares a close bond with her mother, who paused her carer in the '90s to nurture her daughter's growth. Their relationship has not changed, as they are still seen taking strolls on the West Hollywood streets and eating off the same plate.

The supermodel's daughter is no stranger to the blinding flashes, and hypnotizingly-fast clicking sounds on the Hollywood red carpet. Her mother has introduced her to the limelight at flagship events, including "The Amazing Spiderman," LA premiere starring Andrew Garfield in 2012.
