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!

The first photo here by Dick Ballarian was taken in Paris at about 11pm. We waited 5 hours for the clothes to arrive from another shoot. I was ex-hausted as this was my second shoot that day. I also had a reservation at my favorite restaurant in Paris--L’Orangerie--where I was meeting a very good friend of mine and fabulous make-up artist--George Newell-- for dinner.

He waited forever for me to show up, the restaurant stayed open for us to have a private dinner with the place all to ourselves.

The Denis Piel photo on this page was for the collections for American Vogue. I loved this shoot because of the location and working with Denis---he was one of the very first photographers I worked with upon arriving in Paris in 1977. I also learned how to “Cow Tip” ---what a blast and the resident peacock followed me everywhere I went-he was dubbed “Ferdinand the Follower”

Fashion finds

Never being big on fashion in my personal life since my modeling career, looking back at these photos has given me the desire to go out and get some new clothes.

My regular attire these days on the ranch seems to be jeans and a t-shirt.

I must say that some of these evening gowns look great, but then the horses and the cows may not appreciate them as much as you or me.
