Supermodel Linda Evangelista Discusses Breast Cancer Battle Exclusively On 'The View' | The View 

Naomi had the strut and the body, Christy had grace and unmatched beauty, Cindy was the bombshell, but Linda was all three of them combined. The model of all models.

“You’re perfect, you’re beautiful, you look like Linda Evangelista, you’re a model. Everything about you is perfect. Did you stone those tights? Oh, you’re smiling!”

She's been through A LOT. Praying for her health.

I had the opportunity to engage with Ms. Evangelista on several occasions and she was smart, precise, and self aware. Big fan!

Whats not to love about Linda!? She's phenomenal.

She was by far the most inteersting , most beautiful and elegant of them all, a true chameleon , too-she could just manage to look beautiful in everything. She had a horrible marriage with her agent , who abused her, she lost a unborn child with her french soccer fiance and she went through these horrendous health issues. And still she is so cool and graceful.

My absolute all time favorite supermodel. And she has a real reverence for the art of fashion. Whenever she speaks about designers and photographers she worked with, its always with such great respect for the work they created together. And such gratitude for the opportunity to play her own role in that process of creativity.

I met her back 2009 and I told her she was always my favorite model. She looked at me with those eyes and said "Awww your beautiful too!" I was over the moon! 😊💫✨

Iconic. Absolutely iconic. Yes, she is one of The Supermodels. But, Linda I believe is THE Supermodel.

She is an incredible woman. Survivor and thriver. I pray she has a long, prosperous life.

She is so lovely inside and out! She definitely is the epitome of iconic and the number one supermodel of all time. She looks flawless and amazing!!! Incredibly beautiful and brilliant. Love her respect for the artistry of the fashion industry. The industry is just churning out influencer models now and they have nothing on the original supermodels.

Alyssa is all of us when she 'fan-girled' over Linda. I love how all of the ladies were so respectful of Linda as the living legend that she is. She is the personification of a supermodel and one of the most beautiful women on earth. And how amazing does Joy look??!?!

I saw Linda in person in 1992, managed to get her autograph, and she was unreal! Absolutely stunning she looked like a walking mannequin😍. I do have to say though she was not nice at all and I was just a kid. Today she seems to be different person after all the bad things she’s gone through. Who knows what’s real and what’s not anymore. You can retouch a photo to look more beautiful but not your personality.

I love that we are seeing her true self now than ever before; she has become more beautiful as she ages. Thank you Linda for being a great role model for our younger generation today.

She looks so amazing. I'm so happy that she had survived this heartbreaking battle.

As a retired nurse,five if my twenty year career were spent on an Oncology unit,I was surprised but also felt deep admiration for a woman who career was being on the front of magazines ,and alsi one of the “ SUIPER MODELS” say that her scars were something she was proud of ,the scars from mastectomies are incredibly awful,I’m in no way trying to demean any woman who’s had to endure one ,but they are awful,good for her ,she’s not only a survivor but a thriver .

Linda is beautiful ! she s an icon in the modeling industry ! Legendary is the right word to define her !! she´s poised and well spoken and she´s come a long way !

They were roasting her not so long ago for her cosmetic procedure gone wrong, especially Whoppie who was highly critical and now that they are face to face she is suddenly goes « the most amazing Linda evangelista »

What a lovely woman, not just physically, just a great story.....sorry for her suffering, but such grace and intelligence and humility displayed there....I am a cancer survivor, different kind, but I think all survivors have a level of similarity in our stories and the ways we are impacted.....I would love to see her as a contributor to The View.

ICON!!!!! No Doubt. Linda, Cindy, Naomi & Christy Were and always be the original four Iconic SUPER models of the 90's!!

The whole world, loves Linda. She is unique. No other,like her!!!

I met Linda at her book signing in London and she was incredible and kind. I was speechless and couldn't get two words out, she's incredibly beautiful and will be one of my happiest moments meeting her.

My baby sister died from at the young age of 44, in the breast cancer awareness month of October....I miss her every day

Always my queen! I love seeing her well and at peace with herself, what a true warrior.

Still in my eyes (and many I am sure) the BEST model ever. Stunning and gorgeous even today. Love her! Love her! Love her!

SHE’S LEGENDARY 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love Linda. She's magnificent. Iconic can't describe her impact on fashion and modeling.

I love this woman so much. Icon. She deserves all of the accolades. Wishing her great health!

Linda has been through a lot and she has survived it all, she's a true warrior.

Linda Evanlegista is all about eyebrows and look, she is so beautiful and so tremendously honest and kind, just love her❤

I really gained a great appreciation for her watching the documentary. She looks amazing! I hope she goes back to modeling in some form!

She looks amazing, despite all she's gone through!! Love her so much, and love seeing the resurgence of the 1990s supermodel craze!!

So glad to see she's doing well! Watched the Supermodels series last week and I was genuinely heartbroken for her. Go Linda! My favourite in 1990, still there in 2024.

Over 20 years ago, I saw Linda at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam. I was a teenage kid and this was before phone cameras and social media. I approached her and told her I was a big fan and mentioned that I was also from Canada. She didn't even glance at me. It was hilariously embarrassing LOL

She's seem like a sweet & geniune soul ❤

My hair stylist said I looked liked Linda. I said "Marry me please"...He said "sorry I'm gay" but it was a wonderful complement! Glad you're doing well Linda❤

Crazy how life happens..most beautiful woman ever and disease and complications ravish her body...but made her inner beauty come forth❤

Linda Evangelista was one of the most beautiful women of her day. For some reason she thought she needed cosmetic work which harmed her. She’s still a beautiful lady. Sometimes we have to accept that youthful beauty is a gift from God or nature but it doesn’t last forever. We change. If you are pretty when young and take care of your face and body, you’ll become a beautiful older lady. The key is to embrace that and love that part of your life, too. I think she’s still stunning. She should write a book about her ordeal. Something people may not realize about cosmetic work is this: women die on the table every day. Is it really worth it? Maybe a gym/spa membership and a nutritionist would be a better choice. She’s still lovely enough for print work

Linda Evangelista is a true “role model” everything that she has been through. She still looks so beautiful and she has such a great personality and sense of humor. I didn’t realize she had been through so much.

Linda's always been the most beautiful! Love the hair! She's fabulous forever and so strong!

Linda is our Canadian Queen on modeling I truly believe she is the biggest icon much love ❤️ going to her with all the battles she's had she is a fighter I adore her ❤😊

Linda aged really well. She is still a very attractive woman. My mom had a subscription to Vogue and Harper's Bazaar when I was growing up back in the 90s and I loved seeing all the pictures of Linda in those magazines. She always looked so amazing and was one of my favorite '90s supermodels. By the way, I noticed she seemed nervous during the interview, and I was wondering why that is?

Beautiful woman! She was one of my favorite supermodels back in the day. Wish you well and prayers for many, many years to go.

Linda is still and will always be the It girl for me. She is such a beautiful soul. I sincerely wish her all the best. Glad to see her out here again. Bravo !!

I'm so happy she's back ❤

Still a stunningly beautiful woman.

Many models of the 80's and 90's made their mark, but Linda surpasses them all. She was the prima donna assoluta of the runway in her time, in the very best sense of the word. What an honor it is to have lived during her reign.

She is a lovely person, inside and outside. A true ICON. I wish her continued good health🌈💕

Linda is getting better and better at these things. She has important information and sensitive things to say. She's still a bit fragile. For once the women of The View just let the guest answer their questions, in detail. As far as models go - Linda Evangelista was the greatest of them all. Full Stop.

What a legendary woman! Love her

What an amazing woman. Wishing her a long life

Wow, people were being nasty about her over the coolsculpture procedure going wrong, but she was fighting a greater battle..... Tatjana patitz died of breast cancer, another great supermodel.....I lost my sister to cancer..... keep fighting Linda

Linda Evangelista is iconic ❤ Days of the supermodels is long gone but they were goddesses

Linda Evangelista, a stunning woman!

Love her absolutely breathtaking, but I’ve heard unpleasant stories about her as well. All I can say is life has a way to humble us all.

Now this is an Icon

Thank you The View for having the most iconic supermodel of all time! ❤️ I hope you invite the OG supermodels because women will definitely learn from their liive and experiences! ❤️🙏🏻🥰

I adore her!! She was always my favorite. Her beauty is breathtaking in my opinion. not to mention she seems like such a gentle kind person. I'll be purchasing her book.

Such grace and class. A true ICON 😍😍😍

Linda Evangelista understood the power of fashion more and any other Supermodel and was really the NUMBER 1 SUPERMODEL OF ALL TIME...

Just so happy Super Linda is back. You will be healthy again. ❤

She's are Canadian Icon ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Linda was always That Girl. Amazing

A beautiful, gracious, brave woman.

Along with Naomi and Christy…. Linda was my all time favorite. Icon she is… her beauty was unmatched. forever beautiful.

She is the most iconic "supermodel" of all time! None of the girls measure up to her, regardless of their accolades. Everybody is beautiful, pretty, sexy, but Linda was much beyond that, the glare in her eyes she would smile was so intriguing, it would really hold your attention. She serves every single time!

I've been so jealous of her for 4 decades, now my heart goes out to her. I'm surprised Whoopi was so welcoming to her, It was really nice to see as she's usually noticeably hostile to all the guests I like.

Cindy be strong n decisive in life juz like how u started,... now " always be ready to get out of the bed for whatever reasons..." My mom fought for 35 yrs going thru the same process , & finally she said : .she's ever so blessed n feeling great & happy tat my dad finally came to fetch her , with his "chariots of fire"... I was lost for words!
