I had a Mom who was a bored housewife and thought it would be fun to have her kids model in New York City - which was only 12 miles from where we grew up in New Jersey. She would drive all four of us kids in the family blue Volkswagen Bug to all our go-sees and jobs. As I got older, I grew tall enough (5'9'') and stayed photogenic enough, to continue with Eileen Ford as my Agent. I was with The Ford Agency for over 10 years before I moved to LA to be an actress. I was lucky to have been on 4 covers of Seventeen Magazine in 1977 and to be in over 100 TV commercials. I've always loved to collect vintage clothes, because of their style and quality, and I used to have a shop in Pasadena. Now I thought I would try to sell online! Thank you for taking an interest in the unique clothes I have found! I hope you find something to will treasure!
