Here's Karen Graham . . . making a bust out of clay?



This was apparently before she discovered fly fishing. :-D

The Beauty of Retrospect, Part Four: Karen Graham, 1972

Once again, the lovely Karen Graham.



All of these pictures are from 1972, early in her Estée Lauder spokesmodel stint.



Karen Graham was 27 then, so it makes sense that these pictures would present her with a more sporting look.

The Beauty of Retrospect, Part Four: Nancy Dutiel, 1979

Early pictures of former Lancome spokesmodel Nancy Dutiel are rare but can be found with a little luck. :-) The one below is from 1979.



Nancy Dutiel became Lancome's U.S. spokesmodel in 1977, before being replaced by Isabella Rossellini in 1982.

Actress Lori Petty

Remember Lori Petty? She was popular when George Bush the Elder was President.



A onetime graphic designer, Lori Petty appeared in the Penny Marshall baseball movie A League of Their Own in 1992 but lost the big movie career to some single-named shrew who was apparently cast in it to bring in "the kids." Apart from the 1995 cult movie Tank Girl, Petty hasn't done much of note since. :-(

Actress Andie MacDowell

Would you believe this glamourous woman is just an ordinary girl from South Carolina?



Rosalie Anderson MacDowell - Andie to you - came out of the Palmetto State and charmed everyone in the remainder of the country. Starting out as a model, she broke through as an actress with the 1989 movie sex, lies and videotape.



Her biggest movie successes have been Groundhog Day, in which she played the sensible love interest to Bill Murray's character, and Four Weddings and a Funeral, where her leading man was Hugh Grant.
