1976

margaux hemingway was such a huge model when i was a girl - she was in the same category as kim alexis & brooke shields - that all american beauty with full brows & a strong face. certain products take me back immediately - bonne bell, charlie, love's baby soft and of course, babe.  my mom didn't wear it but i remember seeing it at my aunts house on the dresser.  hemingway was the face for babe & received a million dollar contract from it's maker fabergé - the first model to do so.

her famous quote, told to a hollywood producer, was that she was 5 foot 12 inches - men are 6 feet, women are 5 feet 12 inches.  after many years of battling depression, she sadly committed suicide one day before her famous grandfather,  on july 1, 1996 at the age of 41.
