Peggy Anne Freeman was born in Detroit, Michigan on January 1st. 1945. Would later be known as Donyale Luna the first black supermodel and first African American model to appear on the cover of British Vogue (March 1966)
In April 1966 Time magazine published an article , "The Luna Year", described the dramatically thin and tall (6' 2") model with the hallmark bright blue contact lenses and occasional blond wig as "a new heavenly body who, because of her striking singularity, promises to remain on high for many a season.
Donyale Luna, as she calls herself, is unquestionably the hottest model in Europe at the moment. She is only 20, a Negro, hails from Detroit, and is not to be missed if one reads Harper's Bazaar, Paris Match, Britain's Queen, the British, French or American editions of Vogue.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Luna appeared in several films, and her appearances tended to be decorative rather than dramatic.
