Supermodel
She was the “gap-toothed girl”: Georgina Cooper died at just 46 years old
Georgina Cooper was the face of “Cool Britannia” – unmistakable with her gap in her teeth. She died on the island of Kos at the age of just 46.
Georgina Cooper was a British supermodel. With her noticeable gap in her teeth, she became an icon of the 1990s and a face of the “Cool Britannia” of the time. She died on the island of Kos just a few months after her wedding – at the age of 46. Her former agent Dean Goodman told the Daily Mail: “Georgina loved Greece and told me she was returning with her new husband – but she tragically died there two weeks ago.”
“Georgina wasn’t doing well during Covid, she had health problems and was in and out of hospital. But she had plans for the future. She had just gotten married and was looking forward to her life. Everyone is devastated. She was a real superstar .”
Georgina Cooper wanted to open a bar
Apparently she wanted to open a bar on Kos. Cooper was one of “the” faces of the 1990s and was always recognizable as the “gap-toothed girl”. She was on the covers of US Vogue and The Face. Then came the break, she concentrated on raising her son Sonny and left the catwalk.
When she gave birth to her child Sonny, she stepped out of the limelight. In 2018, she spoke about her career in hospitality and how much she focused on her family. At the time, she told The Culture Omnivore: “I work in the restaurant industry now and I love it because I’m a sociable person. After I had my son, I just couldn’t bear to leave him and I wanted to to be there for him. I tried to continue modeling but was heartbroken when I had to leave him for work. I focused on modeling assignments in London but my life was at a crossroads and I decided that Sonny came first.”
Life after glamour
Georgina Cooper then led a completely unglamorous life in Kent. The wedding ceremony also took place there. The celebration took place in the local pub. In recent years, however, she has collected significant amounts of money for charities.
Dean Goodman wrote on Instagram: “I’m in complete shock and recently spoke to her about meeting up after she just got married. She was the original gap-toothed girl! I’ll miss her terribly, rest in peace Georgie- Girl I will never forget you and love you always, see you on the other side.”
