“People think I’m making love at 76, which I am and am very loud about it. It’s very important. But if you don’t have privacy, you can turn into a public fool”
Photo: Courtesy of Strivectin Lauren Hutton was the first person to earn a million dollars for her beauty. In 1974, she made history for her million-dollar-a-year Revlon contract. But when she turned 41, the brand unceremoniously dropped her.
I yelled across the room to my very smart sweetheart and said, “I need a modeling contract. What do I do?” He didn’t even look up from his paper, “Cosmetic companies. They have the most money. Tell your photographers and your agent that you won’t do any more cosmetic ads without a contract.” It actually started at a million dollars for the first three years, and then we negotiated higher from there because the company was doing very, very well. And I don’t feel any resentment from when they fired me at 41; it hurt them much more than it hurt me. When they called me in to say it was good-bye, they told me they had done “focus groups” and discovered that “women over 40 didn’t use makeup!” Well, I was over 40, and all the women I knew all used makeup.
Early on, I probably didn’t even know what that meant. But now, I am fantastically proud of that. I just happened to be in the right time and right place, as it is with any big change. I hope to do modeling till I am 100. There is a chance. My mom just turned 96. That movie, every word was important. You see both sides very equally. You see where they made terrible divergences and why it happened. I would like to see that movie for the rest of my life. I love that movie because I learned something, and that’s what keeps me young, as long as I can keep doing it.I think that’s the point of life, if you’re lucky. Hopefully, it’s growing up. You get to be wise. That’s the point. You read; you talk to the smartest people in the world and listen to them.
