She used to be the most expensive supermodel in the world. She sold 7.8 million photos with an elephant. She passed away tragically after 3 marriages.

Speaking of representatives of elegant women in the 1950s, Audrey Hepburn definitely occupies the most important place. But at that time there was also a female figure, more elegant than Hepburn , she was Hepburn's best friend Duoweima .


If Hepburn is a tough and delicate red rose , then Dovima is the cool white moonlight.


Hepburn and Dovima took a group photo


Compared to Hepburn who is being eaten by God, Dovima is more like being chased and fed by God.


When others still have to stand on tiptoe and work hard for their dreams, in her early 20s, she has no difficulty and became the supermodel with the highest hourly salary at that time.


In 2010, an old photo of Dovima and Elephant was taken by Dior at a high price of 7.8 million. To this day, no one has ever surpassed it.



However, what is unexpected is that under Dovima's bright and beautiful appearance, there are many unknown bitter pasts. At his peak, his career withered, he entered marriage and domestic violence, betrayal, his third lover died, and he suffered from cancer in his later years... Elephants shoot a group of fashion blockbusters.

Dovima, then 28, wore a dress designed by Dior student Yves Saint Laurent. Her delicate and elegant figure is in stark contrast to the rough and bold elephants, which is very shocking.


In front of such a behemoth, Dovima held back her fear of posing with her eyes closed slightly, while Richard took the opportunity to capture her most beautiful moments. Once this group of photos came out, it became a classic.



Since then, Dovima was pushed to the altar by Richard and became a supermodel in the European and American fashion circles in the 1950s and 1960s.


Gradually, people found that in the many photos of Dovima, there are few scenes of grinning. This is not the mystery she deliberately created, but her inferiority complex from the inside out.


Dovima as a child, formerly known as Dorothy Vigenia Margaret Juba, Dovima is a fictional name of a friend she made at home alone when she was a child.



When she was young, she suffered from rheumatic fever. In order to take care of her health, the doctor suggested that she should rest at home for a year. However, the cautious mother kept Dovima at home for seven years because of her love for her daughter.


Dovima, who is trapped at home, looks like a canary kept in a cage.


She doesn't know how to resist. She can only read books and draw pictures on weekdays. When she misses friends, she calls them, and her personality also becomes introverted.


Once, too bored Dovima ran to her mother's clothesPlaying in the cupboard, she accidentally knocked off a corner of her front teeth, which made her originally introverted even more inferior, and she has always habitually pursed her lips and smiled.



all say that parents love their sons, but they have far-reaching plans. When Dovima was just an adult, her mother chose a reliable partner for her daughter, who was also their neighbor - Jack Golden.


Dovima, who knows nothing but obeys her mother's arrangements, is ready to spend her life with her husband who is a bank clerk.


2,


were only stable days before they were shattered by an accident, and Dovima's fate was also turned upside down by this chance.


One day in 1949, when Dovima and her husband were out shopping, an editor who claimed to be "Vogue" approached and reported himself, hoping to invite Dovima to take pictures.



At first, Dovima was reluctant to accept the editor's invitation, but her husband thought she could give it a try.


With the encouragement of her husband, Dovima finally plucked up the courage to enter the studio.

Unexpectedly, Dovima is a natural model, and the first photo she entered was unique. Her unique aloofness and arrogance shocked the entire fashion circle.


Soon, Dovima became a resource that major fashion magazines scramble to grab, and her hourly salary also rose from $25 to a maximum of $60, making her the most expensive hourly salary in the modeling circle.


However, with Dovima's career success, her love life has turned red.


The husband who originally just wanted to live in peace, facing the star-studded wife, the status of strong women and weak men makes the husband more and more inferior, and the generation gap between them is also growing.



In addition, Dovima is often busy with work and neglects the family, and has not given birth to children or half daughters for her husband. In desperation, the husband could only file for divorce and set each other free. Facing her husband's decision, although Dovima was a little sad, she did not hold back.


After the divorce, the 30-year-old Dovima continued to work in the fashion circle for 5 years.


With the passage of time, new people in the fashion circle have appeared in large numbers, and Dovima also realized that instead of being abandoned by the fashion circle in the future, it is better to say goodbye decently while she is still young.



At the age of 35, Dovima announced her retirement from the modeling circle and entered a new industry. After


left the modeling circle, relying on the contacts and resources accumulated before, Dovima successfully transformed into the film circle.


It's a pity that Dovima, who lacks basic acting skills, did not surprise the audience, and her works were not brilliant. She and Hepburn are in the same frame. Although they are better in beauty, they have not been able to reach a higher level in the film career. The shots in the 4 works are really pitiful.



is hereDuring her career transition, Dovima met her second husband, Alan Murray, a diplomat. So far, a six-year miserable life has begun.


Although Dovima has a life experience, she is too easily attracted to the funny Alan, and soon she is desperate to marry a girl.


After giving birth to a baby, Dovima, under the coaxing of her husband's rhetoric, not only made a comeback soon, but also gave her hard-earned money to her husband.


Dovima's efforts not only did not get her husband's love, but instead got her husband's punches and kicks.


At work, Dovima's bruises often make people puzzled, but she chooses to cover up and change the subject in an attempt to calm things down.



For the sake of her daughter and to avoid more harm, Dovima sometimes hides at a friend's house, but her husband is still reluctant to take her away from her friend's house and continues to abuse her.


It took Dovima to endure it for 6 years before she completely woke up. There are only 0 and countless times of domestic violence in .


So, she took advantage of Ellen's absence and quietly fled to Los Angeles with her daughter.


But Allen is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. After Dovima left, he immediately called the police all over the United States who wanted Dovima to kidnap her daughter. After


, ​​Dovima could only go to court with Allen.


The family property has already been squandered by her husband, her daughter's custody has been taken away, and even her reputation has been ruined far less than before.



Do Weima, a canary, lost her courage and ability to fight back against bad guys due to the overprotection of her childhood mother, so she could only be slaughtered, and her life was in trouble. After


3,


suffered a major blow, Dovima, who has nowhere to go and no source of income, can only return to the place of birth - Florida .


Beauty can no longer follow the old ways, and she has no culture and can't engage in high-paying jobs. She can only sell cosmetics at some cosmetic counters, or go to some restaurants and bars as a waiter, earning a meager income.



Until the age of 56, Dovima's gloomy life ushered in a warm light again. A bar owner named West Holling sworth fell in love with the beautiful and charming Dovima.


Romantic, he often surprises Dovima. His thoughtfulness and kindness once again made Dovima's heart move.



After getting along for a period of time, Dovima determined the sincerity of the bar owner, and married her in a flash marriage. Fortunately, Dovima made the right bet this time.


's husband after marriage is still as kind and loving as before marriage, not only giving Dovima a warm home, but also giving her hope in life.


may not last long, happyIt's only been three years since the days passed. The husband who once gave Dovima warmth, passed away due to cancer, and the 60-year-old Dovima once again lost her support.


After Dovima lost her pain, she could only cheer herself up and continue looking for a new job. Regardless, life has to go on.



In order to make ends meet, Dovima finds a job in a pizza shop.


Someone had seen Dovima in the store. At that time, she was 60 years old. After being run over by the wheel of fate, Dovima was haggard.


Her daily work is simple and repetitive, not serving dishes, cleaning the table, or bending down on the ground to wipe the floor, over and over again, or arranging the messy tables and chairs.


She does the dirtiest work, arriving early and returning late. Although she never complains of being tired, her face has long lost the spirit of the past, and some are just compromises and helplessness to fate.


In the rare free time at the pizza shop, Dovima always hides in a daze and doesn't communicate with people. Until May 3, 1990, 63-year-old Dovima suffered through the ups and downs of her life in the torture of liver cancer .



used to lead a generation of fashion supermodels, and it really makes people sigh.


all say that a lucky childhood can heal a lifetime, but an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal.


If it wasn't for her mother's overprotective love for her, maybe Dovima wouldn't be so inferior, weak, never seen the world, and didn't understand the sinister hearts of people. The heavy maternal love of


has added an invisible shackle to Dovima, causing her to lose her way and herself in the love world.


eventually lost her dearest daughter, she could not see each other for the rest of her life, and even most of her life savings was squandered, making her fall from the cloud to the bottom.


The peerless beauty may not be able to reap the final happiness. Dovima's life experience once again proves the lament of "the beauty is so poor". Text / Joy
