Actress Lucy Liu

Lucy Liu is another actress attracting attention of late.



Best known for her role as Ling Woo in the TV series "Ally McBeal," she has since appeared in numerous movies, notably Kill Bill: Vol. 1.

Seventies supermodel Beverly Johnson

Beverly Johnson was among several black fashion models that appeared in the early seventies in the wake of Naomi Sims's success.

At first, many of the modeling jobs she had involved catalog and department store work, such as the black-and-white picture above and the color photo, from a Sears ad, below.

Then the photograph below, taken by Francesco Scavullo, appeared on the August 1974 cover of the U.S. edition of Vogue - the first time a black model had ever graced the cover of a mainstram women's fashion magazine in America.
Though she has had success as a model, her attempt to become an actress fell flat. Her acting ability wasn't necessarly in question, nor was racism really a factor. She just had the horrible luck of appearing in movies that didn't make it, nor deserved to.

But the still picture camera still loves her, even if the motion picture camera didn't. :-)

Sixties supermodel Karen Harris

Before Karen Graham, there was Karen Harris.

Karen Harris was the Estée Lauder company's second spokesmodel, holding that lucrative position from 1965 to 1970, when Karen Graham replaced her. (Model Phyliis Connor was the first.) Mademoiselle Harris's look clearly exudes the style of the swinging sixties. :-)


As with so many pictures for Estée Lauder ads, these were taken by Victor Skrebneski.

Actress Jennifer Garner

Is Jennifer Garner the cutest actress to ever grace a television screen? :-)



Jennifer Garner catapulted to stardom in the ABC series "Alias," in which she played secret agent Syndey Bristow, skilled at quick-identity changes. Her movie credits include Catch Me If You Can and 13 Going on 30.



She has been married to Ben Affleck since 2005. She is currently appearing in "Cyrano de Bergerac" on Broadway.
