Thank you for visiting my website. A little about me... I grew up in an Italian family in Upstate New York (Rochester). I started my modeling career at the age of 12. Rochester was the home of Eastman Kodak. Because of Kodak, by the time I was 17 I was considered the most photographed girl in the country. I became "The Kodak Girl". The life size cardboard cutout of my image in a blue & white polka-dot bikini stood in 80,000 drug stores and camera shops all over the world became an icon from that era.
