Cynthia King was in such great demand as a model, some advertisers couldn't get enough of her. Look at this photo from a cigarette ad showing six images of her in one picture.
In a startling Bob Mackie dress, I might add. :-)
In a fantasy world, you'd find six women with the same unique combination of beauty, elegance, and coolness as Cynthia King. But there's only one of her.
Because only she could project a lovely image like in this 1987 black-and-white photo . . .
. . . and show off some tough-cookie sex appeal in this 1984 color shot . . .
. . . while still being Cynthia King. :-)
The Ohio-born Ms. King started modeling as a way to pay her college tuition when she took part in a convention sponsored by the Wilhelmina modeling agency, who discovered and signed her. She told Ebony magazine in 1984 that people had asked her about what type of look modeling agencies were looking for. "There isn't a set sort of characteristics," she said. "It all depends on what the public responds to, and that changes from time to time."
But real beauty never goes out of style. ;-)
The photo immediately above is from that Ebony piece.
