The wild, mysterious Veruschka was one of the most exotic and erotic models of the 1960s, appearing on many magazine covers and making an unforgettable appearance in the classic film Blow-up.  She was born in East Prussia, now Poland, to parents of royal blood. Her real name is Countess Vera Gottlieb von Lehndorff.  Her modeling career didn't take off until she reinvented herself and began implementing her own fashion ideas into her shoots. She began painting her face and body, in some cases actually attaching objects to herself for the photographs.  No wonder Life called her The Girl Everybody Stares At.
