Life Magazine Cover August 22, 1969

This cover photo of a young model walking in New York City has sparked more than a half-century of speculation. Photographer Vernon Merritt hired this model for the shoot, but no one knows who she is. People have been investigating the identity of the model without success.

Photographer Vernon Merritt is no longer alive, but he didn't know or remember her name. She certainly is older than 70, if still alive, but it would be nice to know her identity and her story.

Please tell us if you have any leads to the identity of the model.
