I've always been fascinated with the fashion models, chorus girls, and pinup queens of the 1950s. When they weren't wearing designer brands at storefronts or posing for centerfolds in magazines, they appeared in movies -by the hundreds, I'd add- at studios like Metro Goldwyn-Mayer and 20th Century-Fox. They were attractive and talented but didn't achieve the degree of fame the stars did, and thus faded into obscurity. The readers will see that 'Glamour: Models, Mannequins, and Pinups of the 1950s profiles 105 models from an era when the profession was revered, sought, and lucrative. 'Glamour: Models, Mannequins, and Pinups of the 1950s' isn't merely a book, but rather a dedication to the gorgeous women who endured hardship and heartache to achieve stardom.
