She was well known for her work in the runway shows of designers Karl Lagerfeld/Chanel and Shiatzy Chen, and she also appeared in print campaigns for Burberry, Hermes, and Calvin Klein Maybe but lets face it there's not much point to a model still being alive past their 30s ! Who is going to hire a 50 something model ? I'll be honest , I've never heard of her so Im not bothered. Condolences to her family though. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, it seems the likes of Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell are still making a good living. At the very top of the profession I don't think age is such a barrier. Sometimes they move behind the camera, as I believe Christensen has done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A very narrow-minded view. There has always been plenty of work for older models. Open your eyes to the world of advertising and see what a wide range of people appear in magazine ads, catalogues, commercials etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised he never made a big splash after getting out of prison despite his record. Both the Culkin film and the original documentary are well worth a watch.
