...wrong game. She is only 5 ft. 7½ in.-slightly below average for a mannequin. Worse, by her own rather exaggerated reckoning, she has a "lopsided face, crossed eyes, a bumpy nose, and a Huckleberry Finn gap between my front teeth." When Photographer Richard Avedon first saw her, he wrote her off as not having enough "intensity." He thought she was too much like "a Florida type on water skis - just another pretty girl...
