Bijou Barrington

American model Bijou Barrington was born on Wednesday, January 1, 1919, in the United States. She went on to become a successful supermodel, a profession that was still relatively new for women in her era. With her blonde hair, hazel eyes, and slim build, she brought a distinctly American look to the fashion world.

Barrington's career spanned several decades, though she died on Friday, July 1, 1966, at the age of 47. She was of Caucasian ethnicity and identified as straight. Her life and work remain a part of fashion history, and her contributions as one of the early American supermodels are still remembered.
