Janice Dickinson - Personal Life

Personal Life

Dickinson has been married three times. Her former husbands are Ron Levy, Simon Fields (1987–1993) and Albert B. Gerston (February 1995–1996; also recorded as Alan B. Gersten). With Fields she had a son, Nathan Ray Michael Fields (born May 5, 1987). She has a daughter, Savannah Rodin Dickinson (born February 23, 1994), by former boyfriend, Michael Birnbaum. Dickinson thought that Sylvester Stallone was Savannah's father. A paternity test proved that the biological father was not Stallone, but Birnbaum. In her books and in interviews, she has also discussed her numerous sexual relationships with male and female celebrities. In addition to Stallone, her past lovers include Warren Beatty, Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson, Liam Neeson, Sir Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Kelly LeBrock, Prince Albert II, Roman Polanski, Dolph Lundgren, Grace Jones, Bruce Willis, Frank Zappa, John Cusack, David O'Hara, and Jon Lovitz.

During an episode of the reality show The Surreal Life, Dickinson revealed in-depth information about the emotional abuse she endured as a child and teenager. She stated to her cast mates, "My father was a pedophile. He was a dark, angry guy. Being forced to have a pedophile for a father is probably the most horrible thing that can happen to a child, bar none." She said, "I survived a monster... 16 years I was forced to keep the secret... If I ever exposed my pedophile father, I would've been murdered. So you know what he did instead? He beat me on a daily basis." In an interview, Dickinson told British magazine Now, "When he was on the way to the hospital, I tossed his medication out of the car window and didn't tell the doctors. Maybe I wanted to kill the abuser?".

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    “Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
