I've Seen Fire and I've Seen Ice ...
Jul. 16th, 2008 07:46 pmYesterday's newspaper carried an obituary for Dorian Leigh. She was most famous as the model for Revlon's "Fire and Ice" ads. She was equally famous as the older sister of Suzy Parker, who also became a supermodel of the late 1950's. There's a fair amount written about her later career running a modeling agency. And she had a lively and scandalous love life.
What fewer people know is that she studied mathematics in college and worked as an engineer (designing aircraft wings) during World War II.
