The Beauty of Retrospect, Part Eight: Clotilde

More pictures of Ralph Lauren's star spokesmodel of the early 1980s.



Kristin Clotilde Darnell - who went by her middle name as a model - once laughed at her own image.



"I am an optical illusion," she once said.



Today she's a dressmaker in a tony New York suburb, and I'm sure she's for real these days. :-)

One of the world's most beautiful women. Loved her from the first when I saw her in Trading Places.

And she had a bigger role in that movie than Al Franken. :-D
