Dorothy McGowan (sometimes credited as Dorothy MacGowan, born circa 1939) is a Brooklyn, New York-born former model and actress. She was discovered as a talent agent picked her out of a crowd of Beatles fans at Kennedy Airport.〔(Dorothy McGowan ), IMDb〕 Her sole screen credit is for the 1966 French film ''Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?'', in which she had the starring role of a supermodel. As a model McGowan appeared on countless covers of ''Vogue'', ''Harper's Bazaar'', ''Elle'', ''Glamour'', and other publications in the 1960s. She was photographed by Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Melvin Sokolsky, Francesco Scavullo, and others. A daughter of Irish immigrants Sarah and Michael McGowan and born in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, she had one sister, Mary, and two brothers, Peter (1930–2007), a policeman who became a Roman Catholic priest,〔Obituary of Peter McGowan, "2007 Passings", "(In Memoriam: We Honor the Passing of Members and Friends )", Klyne Esopus Museum〕 and James, a policeman whose role as lead negotiator in a hostage crisis was dramatized in the film ''Dog Day Afternoon''.〔 McGowan was one of photographer William Klein's favorite models.〔(William Klein: From Painting to Photography, Fashion to Film.
