Suzy Parker (October 28, 1932 – May 3, 2003) was an American model and actress active from 1947 into the early 1960s. Her modeling career reached its zenith during the 1950s, when she appeared on the cover of dozens of magazines and in advertisements and movie and television roles. She appeared in several Revlon advertisements as well as in advertisements for many other cosmetic companies, including Solo Products (the largest hair care product company in the country at the time), as no model had an exclusive makeup contract until Lauren Hutton (for Revlon and Revlon's Ultima) and Karen Graham (for Estée Lauder) signed them in the early 1970s. She was the first model to earn $100,000 per year and the only fashion model to have a Beatles song named after her, albeit an unreleased one.〔"Suzy Parker" (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)〕〔Sulpy, Doug; Schweighardt, Ray (1999). Get Back: The Unauthorized Chronicle of the Beatles' Let it Be Disaster, p. 148. Macmillan. ISBN 0-312-19981-3〕 ==Early life== Suzy Parker was born Cecilia Ann Renee Parker in Long Island City, New York, to George (May 27, 1895 – June 7, 1958) and Elizabeth Parker (December 31, 1897 – November 1965), who married in 1916. She had three older sisters: Dorian (1917-2008), Florian (1918-2010), and Georgiabell (1919-1988).〔(www.parkerheritage.com ) (02 September 2015 ).〕 Elizabeth believed she was undergoing menopause, but then discovered she was several months pregnant with Cecilia/Suzy.〔"Model", by Michael Gross, 1995, page 114.〕 Suzy's original names came from three of her mother's best friends. A then teenaged Dorian advised her mother to arrange the names in this order - Cecilia Renee Ann Parker - so the initials of the names would spell the word "crap". Dorian claimed her mother had no idea what it meant.〔 Parker's father George disliked the name Cecilia and called her Susie, a name which Parker would retain throughout her life. A French ''Vogue'' photographer later changed the spelling to "Suzy". Parker's family later moved to Highland Park, New Jersey, and then to Florida. When Parker was 15, sister Dorian, herself one of the top models of the era, introduced her to Eileen Ford. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suzy Parker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
