Tyra Banks, the creator, producer and host of "America's Next Top Model", is a hybrid animal. She doesn't gravitate toward a single familiar archetype, as other female media barons do (eg, Martha Stewart's über housewife, Rachael Ray's perky girl's girl), but divides her persona into four: diva, den mother, wackjob and tycoon, all of which battle for prominence in every episode of the show. It can be unsettling (or merely bewildering) to witness these shifts in personality, since every iteration is equally convincing. She is not a woman with whom you would want to be trapped in an elevator.
TYRA BANKS has announced that her wildly popular daytime gabfest The Tyra Banks Show will end after it’s current season.
In a move that surprises everyone, the former catwalker told People that she’s moving on to focus on her newly minted NYC based production company Bankable Studios which will continue to bring Ty’s message of positive and empowering images to women.
