Donyale Luna, née Peggy Anne Freeman, was the first Black supermodel to appear on the cover of British Vogue in 1966. In 1965, a sketch of her image appeared on the cover of Harper's Bazaar and in 1967, she inspired a line of fiberglass mannequins created in her image. A tragic woman with a racial identity crisis and a yen for LSD, this 6'1" beauty appeared in several films produced by Andy Warhol. (January 1, 1945 - May 17, 1979)
