Many of Marie Helvin's most memorable images, now classics of fashion photography, were taken by David Bailey, whom she was destined to marry. Her autobiography is a story of our times: hippie child in the 60s, international fashion icon in the 70s, society supermodel in the 80s, pinoeer detox guru in the 90s - and reluctant TV star in 2006. She was discovered in a coffee shop in Tokyo and never looked back. She was the inspiration for the look of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane, and entertained Salman Rushdie during the height of the fatwa. In this ruthlessly honest account of her life, Marie will expose the sex, drugs and money of the glamour industry, how models were treated like 'clothes whores', but how, gradually she came to believe in her own beauty and find fulfilment as a mature woman.
