GIA CARANGI ABC TV'S, VANISHED: SHOOTING STAR 1/6

[Bgirl291]

Stephen Fried is a great journalist/writer. I've read many biographies but he is so very dedicated to detail and really encompassing the depth of despair and raw emotion of his subject. While its considered importatnt to be objective in journalism I think the best writers/biographers do become emotionally invested. Without doing that I think you are doing a diservice to your subject. Thing of beauty is awesome

[Bgirl291]

@Beautifu1B1urr I agree and thats why America's Next Top Model is basically a laughing stock. Models that have become huge over the last 30 or 40 years were found randomly by scouts who took them to agencies. If its that hard to get into an agency it's probably never going to happen.

[leamidiag]

sandy was supposed her girlfriend??

[Vash1286]

I think one of the reasons she ended up the way she did was that she was bipolar (according to one of her friends in an interview). If she was treated properly, she most likely would be living today. 

[thewilliamgregg]

@Vash1286 Alot of people who are not diagnosed treat themselves with drugs so you are probably right.It's a shame.

[MrMarkeysparkey]

Dinner with Salvador Dahli (probably spelt incorrectly). A Spanish artist, very famous. Dead now though........for the person who didn't catch the name

[Mayorpuffenstuff]

She was supposed to have Dinner with WHO? lol

[TheNook1234]

Ppl have to understand that gia personality was great and ppl admire her not because she was a model or lesbian or used drugs. She was just an interesting person so ppl talking about how her friends didn't love her or went to her funeral. Stfu because your gay and want to get thumbs up on YouTube.

[CumInAsses]

wow...''untold thousands of young women have tried to break into this industry every year, only a handful will make a living at it, even a smaller number will ever reach the top and very few of those will ever be remembered''

[marizz7]

Gia died young and vanish before get ugly with her iliness... That is all. She was lesbian,big deal,used drugs ,ok? Is her twin Janice alive ? Why people loves her more than Claudia,cindy,kate or Naomi...Because none of them are dead yet.Or died before wrinkles?...I felt for her naive to believe in her own famous...Nobody from her friends in this video went to her funeral or did something to help her out...It is just :"I loved her...She was so speacial",yeah,cool...And I believe in Gnomos!!!

[79tazman]

Gia is awesome!!!! R.I.P Gia you are dearly missed

[eskee517]

I love her laugh<3 It makes me angry that all the people around her really couldn't see or didn't care that she was hurting so bad. I wish things didn't have to turn out this way for her. She was so beautiful, inside and out. She just wanted to love and be loved in return...why couldn't anyone provide the love she needed!? R.I.P. Gia<3 I hope that in heavean you have found the peace and caring you so desperately searched for here on earth

[emaresea]

All these people are saying "I loved her, I loved her..." , but when she was dying, no one was there for her but her mother.

[giaisbomb]

GIA WAS AWESOME......

[tennischickypoo]

it's sad...she had everything in the world but no one to share it with. people just seemed to always leave her.

[JAEGERSTER]

people who commit suicide or use drugs deserve no respect and i am not trying to be ignorant.there are hard working poeple who work hard every day to support families and we glamorize drug models

[TheMODEGeek]

Does anyone else feel their heart breaking?

[TheMODEGeek]

Does anyone else feel their hear breaking?

[giaisbomb]

GIA STILL FUCKING RULES THE MODELING WORLD.....You don't see many Female Models nowadays with a face as beautiful as hers...let alone the perfect body, too...

[DARRINCONNOR1]

These T.V. shows, do you think they really needed to call the documentary "Shooting Star"

[trustsubci]

@MrKodiak1000

Heroin is a drug, genius & drugs don't give you AIDS, sharing needles & sex does. Wise up.

[fan80sgirl]

@badsign1980 Everybody has different taste, me and my girlfriend think she's very beautiful and made great covers. I like brunettes and blondes.

[giaisbomb]

@fan80sgirl ---HOW SWEET!!!! LOVE YOU LIEBCHEN....You are a Shooting Star!

[fan80sgirl]

@giaisbomb LOVE YOU TOO! ALWAYS AND FOREVER...

[cbear24able]

@badsign1980 Blondes are 10 a penny. 

[BitchesLoveHardstyle]

@badsign1980 If I'm judging people on their superficial qualities I prefer to wait until I get at least a few inches below their scalp before coming to any conclusions. To me what makes a person beautiful is their face and body, not simply their hair color.

But perhaps you're a smidgen less scrupulous than I.

[iamjeona]

@badsign1980 just outa curiousity, what is it about gia that you don't see as pretty?

[badsign1980]

women are so dumb... a super model saying that it was alot of hard work... lol i dont think they know what hard work is... man giving value to women who dont jhave int. just empty shells looking like plastic manequins whats the diff, just put plastic perfect people in cover of magazines and thats it... lots of "hard work2 what a shallow world, put people who invented the cure for cancer and math explanation for proton behaviour on cover of magazines, an aberration in a world that is rotting

[MariaDY]

@badsign1980 you don't get laid much, do you?

[giastar69]

i love u girl!!! u live in my heart and mind together the world will no how u felt....

[KiittyCupcake]

Hahaha

[AQUAMARINETMI]

what is the name of the song @ 2:21

please and thank u

[420dreamweaver]

Wow, I wonder how many of you actually remember her on the magazine covers. Any celebrities and all of us can fall into the trap of drug and alcohol abuse. One has to remember that it is not so much a disease, but a choice!

[MariaDY]

@420dreamweaver it's both. interesting, name, 420

[bestdealer0073]

such a beautiful girl

[SnotRockets55]

Gia. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[sandylinter1]

I hate m y performance in this video. I wish I had been more "on top" of the interview. I was sort of blindsided. They wanted me to talk on tv. about Gia's romantic interest in me. But I wasn't savvy enough to deal with this crew. Too bad,

[lisahnyc]

@sandylinter1 sure. its you.

[sconosciutopd619]

I wish I could find it subtitled :(

[PreciousWords88]

i love gia

[PopCulture1980]

RIP Gia You are always loved! I wish I could have been your friend and helped you.

[ChrissieBana]

it's either "do as we say, act as we told you to or here, take any tranquilizer sex, drugs, bunch of lies and destroy your life." pick your bloody pick.

[ChrissieBana]

i remember watching that movie with angelina about gia. when i saw that scene where she's just a little girl and her mother stands in front of the mirror, bitching about how pretty SHE is, and not how her kid is beautiful, i just went... wait a minute... there's something seriously wrong here... now i don't know did gia's mother was really this horrible, but in the movie she truly damn is!

anyway, gia's story is the proof that models, and other celebrity figures are being manipulated to no end

[Marvinglz]

@foxyroxy2005 You are wise beyond your years!

[Marvinglz]

There was nothing mentally wrong with her!! She was just a normal girl who had so many people in her live abandon her! And working in a very superficial industry where no one really loved her! In the end we all just want someone who still stay forever and love us completely! That's something she couldn't find in that world and eventually lost herself

[bladosc444]

She was bitch.

[sconosciutopd619]

@mauraishot ?

[sconosciutopd619]

Gia's mother is alive?

[fan80sgirl]

@sconosciutopd619 yes.

[sconosciutopd619]

@fan80sgirl :) his father Joe is dead in 1988?

[fan80sgirl]

@sconosciutopd619 Yes, Gia´s father died in 1988.

[missanna208]

I can't belive how many times she is refered to as "IT." Is this just something people in the fashion industry do?

[carlcr1]

You can now speak with people who knew Gia personally and join in the current discussions or add your own topics of interest. Don't forget to browse our rare and fabulous photo section or share your own photos of Gia.

[gwedette]

what do they mean she'd go 2 gallerys and shoot up,whats the gallery

[fan80sgirl]

@gwedette it´s the place where junkies come together to shoot heroin, `the shooting galleries`, real sad.

[BunnilovesMilo]

6:58

WHAT IS THAT SONG ?

[analflores]

there is a special on lifetime on gia! they show it every once in a while!

u guys should watch it, it would explain some things i guess...i think she got the aids from the needle as well

[fan80sgirl]

@analflores I didn't know cuz I live in Holland. Could you tell me when it's on or maybe I can watch it on the internet? Please let me know.

[gwedette]

@analflores do u no what the special is called and where i could watch it

[mlyn1982]

@analflores Yeah, I'd love to see that. What's the name of the special, so I can look it up?

[fan80sgirl]

@mlyn1982 I think they mean the movie Gia.

[fan80sgirl]

@MrKodiak1000 I agree with you but also very very sad story.

[Pinkranger87]

I think her story still stands because is kinda a rags to riches story with a tragic end but also with a mystery in it because no one unless you really knew knows what drove her to what she did

[fan80sgirl]

@MrKodiak1000 Pretty sure she got it from dirty needle.

[fan80sgirl]

@MrKodiak1000 Heroin are drugs.

[peacefulblonde39]

She was very beautiful!

I have found through out the years that many lesbians are emotionally imature. I have had 5 in my life. Although I am not gay. They all had this in common.

[gavalliboy]

@fan80sgirl its not always about who looks exactly like gia the directors have to choose someone who looks the most like her and ACT the most like her. Trust me you dont want to sit in a movie for a hour and half and you see a girl who just looks like her she needs to act like her too angie did a good job and gia was punk and rock and roll when she was in her down town so that part I think was true.

[diablogrl]

vanity, none of you loved her

[anapao89]

thunderstorms always follow those that deserve sunshine!

[sikkinyx58]

gia was so beautiful..she was troubled and prob felt used and abondoned. I miss her and hope that she is Resting In Peace

[exonian1]

Beverly is right! She reeks of sexuality!

[superethic]

I almost stole a polaroid I found of her at this Hollywoo moguls house. I want to go to her grave... I used to be a Wilhelmina sexy....

[fan80sgirl]

@superethic You're a mogul yourself! Well if you don't like her DO NOT WATCH GIA VIDEOS!!! It's for FANS, not HATERS!

[themisslauralicious]

~Gia~

I will never know her for real and I'd just be like everyone else wanting to know her, be with her. People take too much from others. She is truly a beautiful and gifted woman. She will always be loved even by me. xoxo

[ritter89]

Julio Eglasias looks like Franceso Scavullo

[leftwingmayheim]

gias face and Angies face are rather similar so in my opinion it was the best cast.. in my opinion I think Catherine Zeta Jones has it above them both..

[imafattycow]

no i think A.Jolie was perfect for the role:D

[KellyGreen5555]

@imafattycow I think Jolie did an okay acting job, but looked nothing like this classically beautiful model.

[KellyGreen5555]

Gorgeous face. Jolie was too masculine in the face to play her in the HBO film "Gia."

[fan80sgirl]

@KellyGreen5555 Yes, and Gia didnt had these ugly tattoos.

[anapao89]

@fan80sgirl LOL Yeah, I just saw that movie and I can't see the real Gia being so masculine and agressive as how angelina acted. However, who knows! The movie was great! but was the real Gia really like that? or was it just the fact that she was doing drugs and being a lesbian? I'm just starting to learn about her, lol.

[LawlietandLight]

@KellyGreen5555 Um have you not seen any photos of Gia?

She resembles a man in most.

Actually Jolie looked too femine in the movie.

[fan80sgirl]

@LawlietandLight I disagree, Gia is more beautiful than Angelina, she's born with it. Angelina had cosmetic surgery. She looked punk and manly in the movie not like the real Gia.

[gavalliboy]

@fan80sgirl its not always about who looks exactly like gia the directors have to choose someone who looks the most like her and ACT the most like her. Trust me you dont want to sit in a movie for a hour and half and you see a girl who just looks like her she needs to act like her too angie did a good job and gia was punk and rock and roll when she was in her down town so that part I think was true.

[KellyGreen5555]

@LawlietandLight Riiigghht. I just commented on Gia's beauty w/out ever actually looking at her before.

I'm sure Jolie is "femine"...I think it's a type of blowfish.

[LawlietandLight]

@KellyGreen5555

Well look at her again.

She has manly features.

Why would you say Jolie does?

Jolie looks more feminine in the face than Gia.

You have it backwards.

[40zKing]

@KellyGreen5555 your a stupid bitch how is angelina 2masculine??is there anything masculine about BIG LIPS??!! i dont think so. so b4 u post sumthin stupid think. angelina looks way better than gia and the way angelina portrayd gia is what made ppl like gia. but i like gia 2 but angelina better.

[caillo1]

man she is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Pinkranger87]

I think gia was looking for something and didnt know where to look for it and got lost in her self

[sandylinter1]

wow! that was just great. Thank you for sharing...on Gia's Birthday

[fan80sgirl]

Sandy also tnx for being on YouTube.

[shushiiiiii]

It's so good to have you around. Must be bittersweet to bring all these memories back though... I have a great respect for you and your warm words about Gia on gialouise' s channel really moved me. wish u much love=)

[fan80sgirl]

@shushiiiiii Tnx a lot! But I commended on my own channel sorry to say, maybe you mixed it up but nevermind.

[shushiiiiii]

I'm srry, darling, this message wasn't meant for you. hugs

[MsYperite]

she was really beautiful. with all the self-destructive behaviours

[oliverclozesoff]

Gia really represented the 70's/80's. The glamour, the natural sexiness, the music, the freedom and creativity, the wildness, the drugs, the sadness, the greed, the disease, the deaths. All of it was in her face. But even with that I wouldn't take it back, because look at all the amazing things that came from it, including her. You won't find things cool like they were back then, you won't find models like her now. Right and wrong, she did it her way. And thats why we will 4ever cherish her.

[aplus1984]

What happened to the E true Hollywood story?huh Gialouise

[fan80sgirl]

@aplus1984 YouTube removed it December 18th 2009 from my account.

[paranrm]

That really sucks, I loved that documentary. Can you get it back?

[fan80sgirl]

@paranrm Yes, I'm gonna put it back on in a few weeks with another account, I can't with this one cause then I'm gonna get kicked off YouTube with this account.

[Nutik901]

in Engish? my english is bad. I don't know how say it....mmm..((

[Nutik901]

как жалко, что она себя загубила( мировая модель была(

[fan80sgirl]

@Nutik901 ???????????? in English please..

[shushiiiiii]

I think she said that it's so pity that Gia distroyed herself , because she was on world level...

[eureka842008]

she did not distroy herself and I just wish people would stop saying that. What distroyed her was the pain she carried deep inside, the pain of untold agonies of her childhood. We all carry that pain and we are all doomed to go to grave before our time because there is not a thing in this world by which it can be eliminated. Only is she knew that. If only she had turned to God or Primal Therapy instead of drugs. GOD BLESS YOU GIA!

[fan80sgirl]

So sweet of you yo say, we fans all agree.

[ritter89]

@eureka842008 What "untold agonies" from her childhood? Sounds like you're projecting your own stuff onto her. Many people have far more horrific and violent childhoods than she had. I think it was a life of pretense and emptiness that killed her. These women (models) are literally nothing to the avg person and the entire fashion world only makes sense to the small group of ppl who profit from it. Anyone who's even moderately self reflective would get depressed in that industry and lifestyle.

[peacefulblonde39]

@ritter89

I agree with your assesment.

[Pinkranger87]

gia should've been a model, she would done the crossover easily and probably would've been the next grace kelly or someother old school hollywood beauty

[Pinkranger87]

i ment they had elizabeth vargas a woman who resembles with dark eyes and dark i think they planed it that

[WhatisRight2430]

she was truelly the most beautiful supermodel! she was a natrual! So unique!

[spykitty]

haha smells like jealousy.

[dancingonyrmindfield]

I couldn't agree more!

[starboytoy]

She was and will always be the most intriguing supermodel in the entire universe.

[Spriggangirl]

Yeah, Gia was the first person to bring attitude into the modeling industry and after her death, now everybody's trying to bring in the attitude.

[fan80sgirl]

neither are you.

[Pinkranger87]

Its funny they have Elizabeth Vargas is doing the interviews and talking about her, she does look like her

[KiittyCupcake]

no she doesn't

[sandylinter1]

You are right.

[Vermelho76]

all her life is a show that this world of beauty is all fake. and people still talking stuff that she was at the top of the world, or like they love her, admire her. she just couldnt found anything more deep about life, a lot because everybody around her said that wanted to be beautiful like her, and for her that was not a choice, it was just how she was, and she was lost, and nobody care about it or tried to gave some knowledge in that little head. listen to the last words on this. and think

[TheBabyGia]

She looks like to Princess Stephanie of Monaco!!! She was very Beautiful, more beautiful than the actual supermodels together..

[Pinkranger87]

cindy's beautiful but Gia oh my god, now she is a goddess

[puddyy1]

Cindy Crawford came on the scene as Baby Gia, very similar at the time. Rest in Peace Gia, many loved you

[OLGA746]

Please, start up a path with subtitles! I love GIA and want to know all about her? my english not perfect. With subtitles will be easy. In advance I thank!

[heyorkie]

0.47 she's so amazingly beautiful.

[Pinkranger87]

it kinda weird u watch the movies and hear the stories and read the books but it seems like there were 2 Gia's the one was the model and the one that was the junkie and they were at odds in here mind of would she fall or make it .

[agatharosa]

Sometimes you have everything and at the same time you got nothing....

[Vatfryer]

Being beautiful doesn't make your life easy. She was so starved for real love. It's very sad.

[fan80sgirl]

I agree, tragic story. Gia was great and very beautiful.

[zyrilzyrilzyril]

i just finished watching the movie GIA last night and boy it was terrific, most of the time i can feel my hair on my legs rising. one of my favorites next to requiem for a dream. gia was amaziiiiiiiiiing :(.... but was really troubled.

[VeggieChick77]

Yeah, the movie wasn't as true to the actual story though. It was LOOSELY based off of her life. I wish it had been more accurate since the real story is so much more depressing.

[zyrilzyrilzyril]

aww i wish i know more about the real story. is it really that more depressing? then i cant imagine how horrible life has been for her :|

[VeggieChick77]

If you want to know the full story, read the book "Thing Of Beauty". It's basically a true biography about her. The filmmakers decided to tone it down. Usually films exaggerate, but in Gia's case they decided to do the opposite.
