DIED. SUZY PARKER, 69, 1950s supermodel whose red hair, green eyes and much envied bone structure made her Coco Chanel's "signature" face and the highest-paid model of her day; after a series of illnesses; in Montecito, Calif. A favorite subject of Richard Avedon, she inspired the Audrey Hepburn role in the 1957 film Funny Face, in which she also appeared.

While he may not have the traditional ectomorphic build of the supermodels, John certainly has a similarly mesomorphic ego. And as this photo (shot by Richard Avedon for Gianni Versace) reveals, a little makeup--or even a lot--and the right attitude work wonders. "Elton is more than a pal for me: he's my brother by choice," coos Versace, for whose runway shows John often writes songs. "I love his voice, music and talent." Having...
