The Beauty of Retrospect: Beverly Johnson Week, Part Four

So if Beverly Johnson can look gorgeous with little or no effort, imagine how gorgeous she looks with a lot of effort!

At her most glamorous, her beauty inspires superlative descriptions that make her what people like to call a "supermodel."  Which is obvious from the picture below.

It's a smile that has been a an asset of Ms. Johnson for her entire modeling career.  Below is one of her earliest pictures in her portfolio, from 1973. 


What was making her smile here? Possibly the thought of a long, fruitful modeling career ahead of her? :-)
