Ruth Ann Flynn A Career in Modeling

Ruth Ann Flynn had a remarkable 30 year career in modeling. Fortunately she kept photos from each decade, and is presenting each of them with a few lines on who took each photo, and what each photo is about. It includes headshots, tear sheets (copies of ads and editorial she appeared in) photographs taken by her talented daughter, Amanda Stephenson, and advice for anyone who aspires to a career in modeling. This book, or memoire as its been referred to, is a must read for anyone interested in modeling. And a whimsical one, at that.

A photographer hired to take pictures of Ruth Ann's high school she could become a model. She took him seriously, went to a Center City Philadelphia modeling school, applied to Philadelphia's only modeling agency, and was accepted. This led to an exciting 30 year career, first in fashion and then in commercial modeling. Ruth Ann's book takes the reader through each decade. It includes photos taken by her talented daughter, Amanda Stephenson, social photos, and a special section for anyone who dreams about a career in modeling. Enjoy the ride!
