In 1994, FOX introduced a new show called Models Inc. The show revolved around the lives of models working for the fictional agency, Models Inc. The show was the brainchild of Aaron Spelling, who had also produced popular shows like Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place.

The show was set in Los Angeles and focused on the personal and professional lives of the models. The main character, Hillary Michaels, played by Linda Gray, was the agency's founder and chief executive. She was a powerful and successful woman who was determined to maintain her company's success and power. Hillary was also a protective mother to her daughter, Amanda (played by Cassidy Rae), who was trying to make it as a model and struggling to negotiate the tumultuous world of the fashion industry.

The show also followed the lives of other models, including Sarah Owens (played by Cynthia Dale), the agency's main model and a divorced mother of a teenage boy. Another model was Julie Dante (played by Teresa Hill), a tough and ambitious model who used her sexuality to get ahead in the industry.

The male models of the agency were also an integral part of the show. Cameron Daddo played the role of Brian Peterson, a male model who tried to balance his successful career with his relationship with Hillary's daughter, Amanda. David Goldsmith played Eric Dearborn, a male model who struggled to find his place in the industry and often faced rejection because of his unconventional looks.

The show tackled various issues faced by models including drug addiction, eating disorders, and sexual harassment. It also explored the relationship between models and their agents, showing how the power dynamic could be exploited and abused.

Despite its strong cast and interesting storylines, Models Inc. struggled to find an audience and was cancelled after only one season. Nevertheless, the show has since gained a cult following and is remembered for its glamorous depiction of the fashion industry and strong female characters.

In conclusion, Models Inc. was a show that explored the glamorous and dangerous world of modeling. The show featured strong female leads and tackled various issues faced by models in the fashion industry. Despite its limited success at the time, the show has since gained a cult following and is remembered for its representation of powerful women and fashion industry drama.
