Modelling
Hall returned to New York, changed her name to Lauren Hutton, and became a top fashion model, cover girl (appearing on the cover of Vogue a record 27 times), and commercial spokesperson. She was advised to correct the slight gap in her teeth and tried using morticians' wax to cover the gap, cutting a line in the middle of it. Then she used a cap, which she would often swallow, laugh out, or misplace. She retained this 'imperfection,' which gave her on-camera persona a down-home sensibility that other, "more ethereal models lacked." In her heyday, Hutton was known as "the fresh American face of fashion." In 1974, Hutton signed a million-dollar contract as the face of Revlon cosmetics. At age 40, Hutton was fired by Revlon, but made an unprecedented comeback as a model several years later.

Famous quotes containing the word modelling:
“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
