I adore this woman, and she totally stole the show in The September Issue.
Amanda- Oh..absolutely!! I found Grace so fascinating. I wish the producers had spent more time delving into her past…childhood, family, modeling years,etc. And also how she goes about developing an idea for the magazine.
What a gorgeous woman, then and now. Loved her in the movie as well. Anna was boring (sorry, that’s not nice). But Grace was wonderful. Her creations were stunning. Loved to see these women still going strong, in what could be, I think, their retirement years. Keep going women!!
Margot- I have the ‘famous’ September 2007 issue if you want to borrow it.
PS- I still think they should have used the cover shot of Sienna smiling! :)
