Dorian Leigh, an early supermodel who made Revlon's 1950s "Fire and Ice" cosmetics line famous, has died at age 91.
Leigh died Monday at a nursing home in Falls Church, Virginia. That's according to her son, T.L. Hawkins of McLean, Virginia.
The curvy brunette appeared on the cover of numerous magazines, including Look, McCall's and Harper's Bazaar, and worked with renowned photographers.
After modeling, she started her own modeling agency, opened a restaurant in France and published cookbooks.
Hawkins says his mother was a "diva" with an aura.
