one of the better known role models (for young people)
(for young people) may not be needed, as the definition of role model already says it's directed at this age group......
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_model
A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people.[1] The term role model is credited to sociologist Robert K. Merton, who coined the phrase during his career.[2][3] Merton hypothesized that individuals compare themselves with reference groups of people who occupy the social role to which the individual aspires.[4] An example being the way young fans will idolize and imitate professional athletes or entertainment artists.

: the source does NOT say 'for young people/youth', it says she IS a young person, so this is a mistranslation.
