Was a favorite of designer Coco Chanel and photographer Richard Avedon.

She was the first model to make more than $100 an hour and $100,000 a year.

Despite her aloof elegance, she was known for her candid remarks and rather quirky laidback style off camera. She publicly condemned drinking and smoking and said marriage killed romance.

Briefly gave up her cover girl career for several years to become a photographer.

Audrey Hepburn`s offbeat role in the film Funny Face (1957) was inspired by Suzy, who made a fashionable cameo appearance (her first film) in the "Think Pink" sequence.

Grew up and went to school in Highland Park, New Jersey.

Younger sister of model Dorian Leigh Parker.
