...stepped before the camera at an early age learned that the most important weapon in their arsenal was their gamine appeal. From the start they were tutored in the art of beguilement, the seductive talent of getting looked at.

"He said: 'Ronnie, did you see what happened in New York?'" Noble recalls. He hadn't. He turned on CNN just in time to see the second plane hit the World Trade Center.
