Career

Donna Jordan was “discovered” in New York, alongside Jane Forth, by Antonio Lopez. His muses, known as “Antonio’s Girls”, included Jessica Lange, Jerry Hall, and Grace Jones. Jordan followed Lopez to Paris in 1970 and within a year was in the cover of Vogue and an in-demand model, much desired for her modern, all-American style and electric personality.[1]

Jordan was photographed by Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Oliviero Toscani in the 1970s, was dubbed "Disco Marilyn", and appeared on the front covers of Vogue Italia and Vogue Paris.[2][3] Her signature look consisted of bleached blonde hair, a gap-toothed smile, and bright red lipstick.[1]
