Countess Veruschka von Lehndorff

She was the model in Antonioni's Blow Up (1966).  For nearly as brief a time as her performance in that film, she was Vogue.  Today is her birthday.

A woman I worked with way back when, discouraged my admiration for Verushka, proclaiming her condemnation of the model, she scolded me: "She is completely amoral!  Bear!  How can you possibly like someone like that?"

And yet, Verushka's detractor went on to earn a similar reputation herself.

"Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned."
