I'm a middle child. My older 12 sister is five years older. Her name is Alexis Mayer. 13 My younger sister, Debbie Dickinson, is five years 14 younger than I am. She resides in New York and she has 15 a son. 16 Q You said you lived in Florida until you were 17 17 years old? 18 A.

Why did you go to New 5 York? 6 A I wanted to become a model. 7 Q And why did you want to become a model? 8 A Ever since I was nine years old looking at the 9 pages of Vogue Magazine, I wanted to be in the picture 10 as a model. I saw Lauren Hutton and that's what I 11 decided I wanted to be. I wasn't very good at school, 12 so -- 13 Q And so, Janice, tell me, when you got to New York, 411 14 did you have any success at trying to become a model? 15 A Not at all. I didn't have an agent. And back in 16 those days, 1974, the girls that were working that were 17 very -- the everyday model was blond, blue-eyed. And I 18 don't fit that mold. And I was rejected for -- daily 19 for two years. I mean, I was so poor, I walked to all 20 of my appointments and begged people to take my 21 picture. And it wasn't working out. 22 S) So after those two years, did you go somewhere 23 ease? 24 A( I went to -- I was offered a ticket to go to 25 Paris, France to join an agency. And that's what I 7 1 JANICE DICKINSON - DIRECT 4111 2 did. I flew to Paris and lived there roughly for about 3 two years. 4 And so at that point in time, were you getting 5 regular work as a model? 6 A At that time, yes. But prior to that, no. 7 Q So after those couple years in Paris, did you 8 return to the United States? 9 A I did, yes. 10 Q And where did you return to? 11 A, Well, New York City. New York City. 12 Q . Andi, again, you continued working as a model 13 there? 411 14 A, Yes, 15 Q Now, what year, if you can remember, would that 16 have been when you came back from Paris to the United 17 States? 18 A I want to give you the exact year, but I'm not 19 quite sure. 20 Q. It's okay. Why don't you just try and ballpark it 21 for me. 22 I don't like to do that. 23 Okay. Let's try it this way. 24 A I would say two years, so -- 25 So this would be about 1978 or so? 8 1 JANICE DICKINSON - DIRECT 2 A Late '77, '78. 3 Q Okay. So I want to talk to you -- I want to fast 4 forward a little bit to the year 1982. Were you still 5 a working model at that time? 6 A Yes, I was. 7 Q And were you living in New York? 8 A Yes, I was. 9 Q Now, were you represented by an agency in 1982? 10 A. Yes, I was. 11 Q What agency was that? 12 A The Elite Modeling Agency. 13 Q And in that year, did you learn that a person 410 14 named Bill Cosby contacted that agency seeking to meet 15 with you? 16 A. I heard from my booker that Cosby wanted to meet 17 me. 18 Q And do you remember when you first did meet with 19 the defendant, Bill Cosby? 20 A, Yes. 21 Q Can you tell me about that? 22 A It was at his townhouse. 23 Qv And where was the townhouse? 24 A On the Upper East Side of New York City. 25 Qi When you went there to meet with him, how was that 9 1 JANICE DICKINSON - DIRECT 2 arranged? Were you told to go to that address? 3 A Yes. 4 Q And were you with anybody? 5 A Yes. 6 Q Who was that? 7 A My business manager at the time, Charles Haugk, 8 Senior, a former retired New York City policeman. 9 Q Can you spell that last name for me? 10 A H -A -U -G -K. 11 Q So you were there with him. And when you arrived 12 to the house, who was present at the house? 13 A Cosby. 411 14 4c Okay. Was anybody else present? 15 A No. 16 Q And what -- 17 A Well, I think he might have had a chef. 18 Okay. And what happened during the course of this 19 meeting? 20 A, I was very excited, you know. I was told that Mr. 21 Cosby mentored people and he was taking an interest in, 22 you know, checking me out, seeing what I was like, 23 suppose. 24 Q, And, you said you were excited about it. Why were 25 you excited about that? 10 1 JANICE DICKINSON - DIRECT 2 A Oh, America's Dad. He was, you know, very 3 well -respected, you know, from T.V., happily married 4 man, five children. 5 Q And so what was discussed at the meeting that you 6 had with him at his house? 7 A Pleasantries. Pleasantries. He took an interest 8 in my singing career which never got off the ground 9 because I can't sing. Seriously, I can't sing. 10 Q. I won't ask you to do it here. 11 A You don't want to hear that. 12 Q So you talked about that? 13 A That, and acting. And I remember distinctly that 14 hp said,. You have to be prepared; you have to be smart 15 and prepared and know you're -- you know, your craft. 16 So he went upstairs and he brought down a book written 17 by Kostantin Stanislayski called An Actor Prepares. It 18 was a big thick book. And I really wasn't good at 19 rememberLng things from a book because I just basically 20 had a high school education. 21 Q4- And;so after that meeting concluded, you left the 22 house, I take it? 23 A With Mr. Haugk, yes. 24 Q When was the next time that you had any contact 41, 25 with the; defendant that you remember? 11 1 JANICE DICKINSON - DIRECT 2 It's so long ago.

    Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture By Xiaoyu Elena Wang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Professor Shannon C. Stimson Professor Ramona Naddaff Professor Julia Q. Bryan-Wilson Spring 2015 Abstract Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture by Xiaoyu Elena Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Every January and June, the most exclusive and influential sector of the global apparel industry stages a series of runway shows in the high fashion, or, couture capitals of New York, Milan, London and Paris. This dissertation explores the production of material goods and cultural ideals in contemporary couture, drawing on scholarly and anecdotal accounts of the business of couture clothes as well as the business of couture models to understand the disquieting success of marketing luxury goods through bodies that appear to signify both extreme wealth and extreme privation. This dissertation argues that the contemporary couture industry idealizes a mode of violence that is unique in couture’s history. The industry’s shift of emphasis toward the mass market in the late 20th-century entailed divestments in the integrity of garment production and modeling employment. Contemporary couture clothes and models are promoted as high-value objects, belying however a material impoverishment that can be read from the models’ physiques and miens. 1 Table of Contents I.

British rocker Peter Frampton grew up fast before reaching meteoric heights with Frampton Comes Alive! She downplays her interactions with Bill Cosby in this book, which was published before metoo. Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. Being that I am infatuated with the 70's and I had to take a break from all the death and dismemberment I've been reading about as of late, I bought a copy of her book, thinking it would be quick, light on-the-potty reading, full of fun gossipy tidbits about my favorite decade and all the beautiful people who were there. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voting Twitch stream becomes one of platform's most-viewed. I find it both entertaining and educating. It also contains a scene in which Bill Cosby invites her back to his hotel room and she refuses him, a scene that she says Cosby's lawyers forced her to change. Janice Dickinson was born in in Brooklyn, NYC and is one of the most successful supermodels of all time.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011.[2][3] Jolie promotes humanitarian causes, and is noted for her work with refugees as a Special Envoy and former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). She has often been cited as the world's "most beautiful" woman, a title for which she has received substantial media attention.[4][5][6][7] Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in Lookin' to Get Out (1982), but her film career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in the cyber- thrillerHackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed biographical television films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999). Jolie achieved wide fame after her portrayal of the video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and established herself among the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood with the sequel The Cradle of Life (2003).[8] She continued her action star career with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), Wanted (2008), and Salt (2010)—her biggest live-action commercial successes to date[9]—and received further critical acclaim for her performances in the dramas A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008), which earned her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
