Johnson rose to fame when she became the first black model to appear on the cover of American Vogue in August 1974. Donyale Luna was the first black model to appear on the cover of Brittish Vogue in 1966. In 1975, Johnson became the first black woman to appear on the cover of the French edition of Elle. In 2012, Johnson was the star of the reality series Beverly’s Full House that aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The New York Times named Johnson one of the 20th century’s most influential people in fashion in 2008.
In late 2014, she wrote an article for Vanity Fair[18] in which she accused Bill Cosby of drugging her in a meeting at his Manhattan residence in the 1980s, although the incident did not result in a sexual assault. Johnson said that Cosby spiked a cup of cappuccino with an unknown drug. As she felt her “body go completely limp,” she realized what was happening. Johnson said she then screamed and cursed at him several times before Cosby got angry and dragged her outside and hailed a cab for her. Johnson decided to tell her story in hopes that “by going public” she would “encourage anyone [who] has been sexually victimized to speak out.”
Her memoir, The Face That Changed It All, which discusses the Cosby incident, was released on August 25, 2015.
