Posted April 30Apr 30 Her real name is Beverly, even though in the fashion and entertainment world she has always appeared with the name of Lee Skelton. Born on January 23, 1958 in Berkeley Heights, a town of 20 thousand inhabitants in New Jersey, she is the first of three children: father an engineer, mother a housewife. At 20 she decided to try modeling and in 1981 she began modeling for major international brands, from Armani to Lancetti to Givenchy. "After marrying the Roman prince Lorenzo Borghese, and having two children with him, Skelton became a princess: "My noble title was "Donna Lee dei Principi". But in 2000, among the divorce agreements, there was also the return of the title. It was revoked, but friends continue to call me Donna Lee". Last year (2019) I got married for the second time, after 10 years of engagement. My husband is Guido Venturini, owner of the Tenuta Castelnuovo Tancredi in Buonconvento, province of Siena. I am a sommelier and I follow the work of the oenologist. I am also president of Awar, the Association of American Women in Rome". -excerpts from Italian press- modelscomposites

April 30Apr 30 Author Commercial Ferrero Rocher "In the late 80s... I look for alternative jobs and I act in commercials like the one for Neutro Roberts and Johnnie Walker. They tell me that for a chocolate commercial they need a woman, it's the years of the soap opera Dynasty and they want her to look like Joan Collins. I go to Milan, they introduce me to Ambrogio (Paul Williamson) a 65-year-old London theater actor .... Very nice. They make us get into a Rolls Royce and give us the script. They choose me, I do a second audition and we have to decide on the clothing. We try with a lilac dress, but it doesn't work. Then I wear yellow and it's the final choice".--excerpt from Italian press- "Atelier André Laug was responsible for the signature yellow ensemble worn by Lee Skelton Borghese in the television commercial campaign for Italian chocolatier, Ferrero Rocher. The commercial was an overnight success in Italy, airing continuously until 1998".--andrelaug.com
