She is best known for her long-running affiliation with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which featured her on the cover in 1970, 1975, and 1983. The 1978 poster of her in a pink bikini became an iconic 1970s pop culture image.[1]
She has an accessory and wig line for Revlon. She is a judge on the new ABC series True Beauty that premiered on January 5, 2009.[2][clarification needed] Cheryl is also a spokesperson for Cambria.[citation needed]

Tiegs is referenced on several occasions as past love interest of Glenn Quagmire in the television series Family Guy. She voices herself in the episode "Tiegs for Two". [3]
The unrated DVD version of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story includes scenes cut from the theatrical version of Tiegs playing a late-1970s version of herself, briefly married to the title character and using the name "Cheryl Cox-Tiegs".
