There were a lot of talents in Hollywood in the 1950s, some of whom -despite being talented- faded into obscurity after a brief fling at stardom. I thought that it’d be great to pay tribute to seven whom appeared in films like Guys and Dolls (1955) while modeling for some prominent brands. June Kirby (1928-2022), Larri Thomas (1932-2013), and Pat Sheehan (1931-2006) are the blondes, and Suzanne Ames (1933-2013), Suzanne Alexander (1931-1975), Madelyn Darrow (1935-2015), and Jann Darlyn are the brunettes. They could act, sing, dance, and some became successful in the field of business. I conducted various interviews and compiled photographs to create a great publication dedicated to their careers.
I've always been fascinated with the fashion models, chorus girls, and pinup queens of the 1950s. When they weren't wearing designer brands at storefronts or posing for centerfolds in magazines, they appeared in movies -by the hundreds I'd add- at studios like Metro Goldwyn-Mayer and 20th Century-Fox. They were attractive and talented but didn't achieve the degree of fame the stars did, and thus faded into obscurity. The readers will see that 'Glamour: Models, Mannequins, and Pinups of the 1950s' profiles 105 models from an era when the profession was revered, sought, and lucrative. There are some like Carol Ohmart and Jean Moorhead who had periods of fame and others like Virginia Bates, Honey King, and Hazel Shaw who were forgotten. I've included some wonderful photographs that accompany these models, as well as input from the models themselves and/or their families. 'Glamour: Models, Mannequins, and Pinups of the 1950s' isn't merely a book, but rather a dedication to the gorgeous women who endured hardship and heartache to achieve stardom.
