00:00:01,201 --> 00:00:06,706

My complete name is

Peggy Anna Donyale Zasia

Luna Freeman.

2

00:00:06,906 --> 00:00:08,174

SPEAKER:

<i>What sort of racial mixture</i>

3

00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:09,743

<i>do all those names come from?</i>

4

00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:14,914

It's like a melting pot

of say different nationalities,

5

00:00:14,981 --> 00:00:16,349

different people, everything.

6

00:00:16,415 --> 00:00:18,284

? (DELICATE MUSIC PLAYS) ?

7

00:00:18,384 --> 00:00:21,854

SPEAKER 2:<i> Donyale Luna was like

?something ethereal.</i>

8

00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:23,823

<i>She walked into this room,</i>

9

00:00:23,890 --> 00:00:25,692

<i> the whole place

?would just float.</i>

10

00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,630

SPEAKER 3:

<i>I think some people thought that

she was from another planet.</i>

11

00:00:31,497 --> 00:00:34,200

<i> She did not look like

?any human being</i>

12

00:00:34,333 --> 00:00:36,403

<i> I had ever seen or met.</i>

13

00:00:38,437 --> 00:00:40,740

SPEAKER 4:

<i> They always said to her,

?"Where are you from?"</i>

14

00:00:41,974 --> 00:00:43,442

<i> And she'd always say,</i>

15

00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:47,547

<i> "My name is Luna.

?I'm from the Moon."</i>

16

00:00:48,881 --> 00:00:51,217

When I saw her,

I just realized

17

00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:53,886

<i>what great potential she had

?as a model.</i>

18

00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:58,390

<i> I said, "If you're ever

in New York, give me a call."</i>

19

00:00:58,457 --> 00:01:01,194

He knew something

that I didn't know.

20

00:01:01,294 --> 00:01:02,428

(TRAFFIC COMMOTION)

21

00:01:03,162 --> 00:01:06,299

To go to New York was like

<i> Alice in Wonderland.</i>

22

00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:09,168

People would literally stop.

23

00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:11,704

Her face red from blocks away.

24

00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:13,573

SPEAKER 5:

<i> She was in London,</i>

25

00:01:13,639 --> 00:01:16,142

<i> she was in Paris,

?she was in Italy.</i>

26

00:01:16,476 --> 00:01:18,578

SPEAKER 6:<i> She hung around

?with Mia Farrow,</i>

27

00:01:18,711 --> 00:01:21,214

<i> she hung around with

?The Rolling Stones.</i>

28

00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:27,353

<i>She broke the mold of using

Black models in the '60s.</i>

29

00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,591

Richard Avedon was one

of the greatest fashion

photographers of all time.

30

00:01:31,657 --> 00:01:34,693

SPEAKER 7:<i> He was willing

to sign her up for a contract.</i>

31

00:01:35,027 --> 00:01:37,630

SPEAKER 8:

<i> "Too extreme for</i> Vogue."

<i> Are you kidding me?</i>

32

00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:38,998

<i> "Rejected."</i>

33

00:01:39,398 --> 00:01:41,467

DONYALE:

<i>I know I'm the best model.</i>

34

00:01:41,567 --> 00:01:44,136

<i> So why aren't I

?being photographed?</i>

35

00:01:45,004 --> 00:01:48,874

Donyale Luna's being

was discounted because

she was a Black woman

36

00:01:48,941 --> 00:01:51,877

and she wasn't even regarded

as a full person by most.

37

00:01:52,478 --> 00:01:56,015

SPEAKER 9:<i> As a human,

what she would've experienced</i>

38

00:01:56,082 --> 00:01:58,851

in being on the receiving end

of that backlash

39

00:01:59,052 --> 00:02:00,720

is horrific.

40

00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,454

DONYALE LUNA:

<i> Where is the place</i>

41

00:02:02,654 --> 00:02:05,892

<i> where I finally am seen

?for who I am?</i>

42

00:02:07,326 --> 00:02:10,163

<i>And I am loved for who I am?</i>

43

00:02:11,197 --> 00:02:14,099

Donyale Luna

was the first Black woman

44

00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:15,835

to be on the cover

of<i> Vogue.</i>

45

00:02:16,903 --> 00:02:19,405

Why don't we know

more about her?
