" She played muse to a clutch of photographers – Avedon, Beaton, Blumenfeld, Horst and Penn among them – and in the 1950s became the signature model for Revlon's Fire and Ice lipstick and nail polish campaign in a series of images, photographed by Richard Avedon with the advertising slogan: "For you who love to flirt with fire; who dare to skate on thin ice". Avedon later stated that she was the most versatile model, and the loveliest, that he had ever worked with."

Great link. I had always heard stories about her, but I didn't know she was from San Antonio. A Texan that really got around back then.
