Her Bio: http://www.theage.com.au/news/beauty/carme...1369183100.html 'Carmen Dell'Orefice, still working the catwalk at 76, talks to Judy Rumbold about her long and turbulent life. Carmen Dell'Orefice is routinely referred to as "the world's oldest working model", which makes her sound a bit like a rusting traction engine with, perhaps, compromised bodywork and only limited functioning parts....It took an astute fellow bus passenger, all those years ago, to see potential beyond the ears and feet. Journeying back from a dance class in New York, she was spotted by a woman whose husband was a photographer for Harper's Bazaar. Test pictures were duly taken, after which a letter was sent to her mother....Conde Nast, for instance, paid for hormone injections to correct her concave chest and bring on puberty, which had been arrested by rheumatic fever contracted at 12 and a punishing regime with the Ballets Russes. Then there was the time, aged 13, she posed topless for Salvador Dalà for $12 a hour. Imagine what today's Model Health Inquiry would make of that. She dismisses any suggestion of a sleazy subtext: "It was all a lot more innocent then. And I was grateful to be able to help my mother stop working and send her to college." Carmen Dell’Orefice in Hardy Amies, drawn by David Downton in 2003 She said "I love London, enough to have got married there, anyway [in 1952]. I started coming over professionally in the late 1950s, usually for shoots with Parkinson. In the 1980s, when I began doing catwalk shows, Sir Hardy Amies used me as his vision of the older customer. I do the same thing today for Ian Garlant, who took over from Sir Hardy. London is the only city (aside from New York) that I would consider living in."- Carmen Dell'Orefice

The opportunity to host CNN's weekly Travel Now series lured her from the Big Apple to Atlanta, where she currently lives. An avid reader, O'Neill's passions include cooking, film and theater. from http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f109/...imon-70530.html Where is she? it is so hard to find info about her on the net. If anyone has scans of her, I would love to see them! 1986 British Vogue "Gail O'Neil was a top black model back in the 80's. Many of you are familiar with her because of her TV show. I think she has a few more vogue covers behind her name. She also had a sister who modeled in the 80's." http://blacksupermodel.blogspot.com/ More from HFGL on the fashionspot:- Claudia Mason
