Here's some info:
Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba, born December 11 1927 to May 3 , 1990 (my best friend's birthday is May 3!), died when she was 62 yrs old. She's also known as Dorothy Horan, or Dovima is a model from the 1950s. She was born in New York, Dovima was discovered by a Vogue Editor on the sidewalk. After that day, she'd been in a photo-shoot with Irving Penn. She worked closely with Richard Avedon, which photograph of Dovima in a black floor-length evening gown with elephants (a.k.a Dovima with the Elephants). The photo had been taken in Cirque d'hiver, Paris in August 1955 & the photo had been an icon. This dress was the first dress designed by Christian Dior by his new assistant, Yves Saint Laurent. Dovima had been the highest-paid model of her time. Dovima had a daughter called Alison on July 14, 1958, in Manhattan. Alison's dad is Dovima's 2nd husband, Alan Murray. Dovima died of liver cancer.
