Summary:  "Beverly Johnson, who, in 1974 became the first African American supermodel to grace the cover of Vogue, recounts her career in her own passionate and deeply honest voice. She chronicles her childhood as a studious, and sometimes bullied, bookworm during the sixties. She left college to pursue modeling and a successful three-decade career followed. Amid the hard partying of the 1970s and Hollywood life during the eighties, she details her encounters and friendships with the likes of Jackie Kennedy, Halston, Calvin Klein, Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Eddie Murphy, Jack Nicholson, Keith Richards, and Warren Beatty. But she also reveals the demons she wrestled with -- her struggles with racism, drug addiction, and an abusive marriage followed by divorce proceedings which tested her fortitude and sanity. She shares intimate details of her love affair with the late tennis icon Arthur Ashe, and pays homage to her mentor, the late Naomi Sims, while lifting the veil off the complicated and often tense relationships among models. More than five hundred magazine covers later, Johnson is a successful businesswoman, actress, women's advocate, and philanthropist. A story of failure and success in the upper echelons of the fashion world, and how Beverly Johnson emerged from her struggles smarter, happier, and stronger than ever. Beverly Johnson starred in the reality television series Beverly's Full House in 2012 and was named one of the twentieth century's most influential people in fashion by The New York Times"--Provided by publisher.
