The Beauty of Retrospect, Part Nine: Clotilde Redux

Did I dig Clotilde in the eighties?



Boy, did I ever! :-D



Kristin Darnell made a name for herself - her middle name - modeling for several clients in the early 1980s, not just Ralph Lauren. As Kristin Holby - her maiden name - she made a name for herself as an actress, albeit briefly. She played the original girlfriend of Winthorpe (Dan Ackroyd's character) in Trading Places.



The Web site to her current dressmaking business is here.

Thanks for posting these.

For those who dont know, her real name is Kristin Holby, she married and is now Kristin Darnell, and she has her own clothing store in New York

she was in a couple of films, the most popular been Trading Places (1983) and retired from modelling in 1988 to raise her children.

She is still gorgeous to this day!
