How to be a Model #3 ('Teen - October 1966) What makes this article unique is the candid comments in the last section, especially those of former model Mary Sturdevant. Her attitude (and actions) form quite a contrast to Colleen's (as expressed by her in the 'Teen, December 1963 article "Modeling: Money and Madness". [A 15-year-old Jennifer O'Neill was one of the featured models in that same article.]) Regarding the fees models were paid: $104 in 1966 would amount to $680 in today's money. $50,000.00 would be the equivalent of over $328,000.00 today.
