Colleen Corby was one of the best known and beloved teen models of the Sixties. Her modeling career began in 1959 when she was just eleven years old. Two weeks after walking into Eileen Ford's modeling agency (ostensibly to look for a summer job) Colleen was sent on her first modeling assignment. That "summer job" would last for the next twenty years. Colleen is most closely associated with one magazine in particular - Seventeen magazine - appearing on an unprecedented 15 covers in the 1960s. In the 1970s Colleen became the darling of major retailers like Sears and JCPenney, who featured her extensively in their catalogs. Oprah Winfrey praised her as her favorite model and the one she most closely identified with as a teen.
