Riassunto

In 1969, at a bus stop, Susan Moncur is recruited by Eileen Ford, who runs New York's most prestigious modelling agency. The next year she moves to Paris. Photographed by David Bailey, Sarah Moon, Helmut Newton, Serge Lutens, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Norman Parkinson and many others, Susan Moncur becomes one of the top fashion models of the decade. In 1983, her son, James is born and Susan Moncur very quickly discovers that, now as 'thirty-four year old model with child', she is no longer a hot property.
Exposing and self-exposing, They Still Shoot Models My Age captures the precariousness of a profession desperate for young, new faces.

Recensione:

If I had been born a woman, I would have loved to have a feeling of Susan about me. I love and respect her and boy, can she write! (David Bailey ?Lands a bone-breaking punch on the face of the trade... Moncur writes like a dream about a nightmare career? Time Out)

Usually, when talking to models, they say, be beautiful and shut up. Susan Moncur talks and it's worth it... Her vision is keen, her voice is moving (Sarah Moon)

L'autore:

Susan Moncur was born in Detroit in 1949. In 1970 she moved to Paris, where she still lives, and over the years became a top fashion model photographed by Sarah Moon, Helmut Newton, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Francois Lamy, and David Bailey amongst others. Her reign at the top lasted fifteen years, an exceptionally long time in a business that is always consuming the new and discarding the old. Since 'retiring', Susan Moncur has become a successful journalist and actress.
