Suzy Parker
Suzy Parker (October 28, 1932 – May 3, 2003) was an American model and actress active from 1947 into the early 1960s. Her modeling career reached its zenith during the 1950s when she appeared on the cover of dozens of magazines, advertisements, and in movie and television roles. Suzy appeared in several Revlon advertisements, but she also appeared in advertisements for several other cosmetic companies as well, as no model had an exclusive make-up contract until Lauren Hutton (for Revlon and Revlon’s Ultima) and Karen Graham (Estee Lauder) signed them in the early 1970s. Suzy was the first model to earn $100,000 per year, and the only model to have a Beatles song named after her, even if an unreleased one.

I went to an exhibition of his when I was in NYC, and fell completely in love with these photos, especially the rollerskating one.
I was SO tempted to buy a book of all the work on display but it was $85 and I thought that was pushing it!
