Model Moments

Joan Severance

My first film was FUTUREWORLD with Peter Fonda, Yul Brynner and Blythe Danner, directed by Richard Heffron. I played an usher and got the sheer pleasure of opening the door for Blythe and her very young daughter at the time, Gwenyth Paltrow. Now there’s some movie trivia I bet you didn’t know!

I guess I have done it all, from cosmetics to cigarettes and furs to furniture, in the advertising gendre. Whether in print or film I have represented some of the top companies in the world.

My commercial career took off several years before my modeling career. I did commercials for Revlon, Maybeline, Clairol amongst others and some that you may have missed like Kraft salad dressing. I have them all on film somewhere.

I have a natural way of making you want to buy whatever I am selling, I guess that is why I did so well in the commercial world and why I moved into acting easily.

I have had the pleasure of working with some of the greatest photographers in the world. On these model pages I have selected a few of my favorite photos from some of those photographers.

I realize now how fortunate I am to have these images captured for me to review and remember that precise moment that the picture was taken.

Each one not only represents the fashion of the minute but a frame of a moment of my life and when strung together I can see ,thus far, it has been a great one!
