Donyale Luna was the first major black model. She was also in several of Andy Warhol's films, and one of my obsessions. Luna was known to be out of her mind. She would walk down catwalks on her hands and knees and often stated that she was from Mars. She died of a drug overdoes at the age of 34 in 1979. I found this amazing clip of Patty Pravo singing a cover of the Beatles 'Michelle' with Donyale Luna posing on the set. Love it.
