Michael Jackson's Leading Ladies

Naomi Campbell, Iman and other models in MJ's music videos.

Iman - Supermodel and businesswomen Iman starred as the queen in the nine-minute, elaborate Egyptian-themed production, “Remember the Time” in 1992. She even stole a kiss from the King of Pop in the video. Since then, Iman expanded her beauty empire from the runway to a lucrative cosmetics line, Iman Cosmetics. The multi-million-dollar brand caters to all skin types and shades and can be found in drug stores and specialty stores across the globe.(Photo: MJJ Productions)  
Lisa Dean - Vogue cover girl Lisa Dean was known affectionately as Dirty Diana after she and her killer legs appeared in the “Dirty Diana” video. The five-minute motion picture won the "Number-One Video in the World" award at the 2nd World Music Awards in 1989. Dean died due to complications from colon cancer just five-months after MJ's sudden death in 2009.(Photo: Sony Music)
Tatiana Thumbtzen - Starring in “The Way You Make Me Feel,” Tatiana Thumbtzen was the epitome of MJ’s Bad. After nailing the role as his leading lady in the video she hit the road with Jackson for his Bad Tour, but claims she was fired after stealing a kiss from MJ while they were on stage performing. The exile led Thumbtzsen to pen several books about her relationship with the pop star including The Way He Made Me Feel in 2005 and Michael & Tatiana: King of My Heart in 2012.(Photo: MJJ Productions)
Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson in "You Are Not Alone" - Michael Jackson used semi-nudity to make a statement about paparazzi back in 1995 with the video for "You Are Not Alone," featuring him and his then wife Lisa Marie Presley. It was almost as shocking as their marriage.(Photo: Courtesy of Epic Reords)Kishaya Dudley - Dancer, actress and choreographer Kishaya Dudley appeared as the leading lady in MJ’s later work, namely, “You Rock My World” in 2001. She played the object of Jackson’s affection, and the appearance with the King of Pop opened doors for Dudley to choreograph more gigs, including the award-winning dance moves in Gwen Stefani’s 2005 video for “Hollaback Girl.” To this day Dudley is still designing dance moves for the entertainment industry and in commercials for Coca-Cola, Old Navy and more.(Photo: MJJ Productions)
