“Donyale Luna: Supermodel,' a documentary streaming on Max, offers insight into how the first Black model to grace the covers of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue went largely unknown for years after her death.
Luna died in 1979 when Cazzaniga was only 18 months old of heart failure due to drug-related complications. For Cazzaniga, the documentary was a cathartic process for her to gain a greater understanding of her mother.Born Peggy Ann Freeman in Detroit, Luna was scouted at 14 in her hometown by British photographer David McCabe. At age 19, she would leave behind her tough childhood and move to New York. Three months later, she was on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar.
“She was there and willing, hardworking, striking and innovative in everything that she was doing,” Jefferson said. “We just couldn’t understand why she could only make it so far.” According to Avedon’s writings used in the documentary, the photographer responded: “She is extraordinary.”Hearing about that moment on camera supermodel Beverly Johnson burst into tears.Even with the barriers and resistance she faced for the color of her skin, the documentary reveals how Luna was propelled by her own drive and pursuit of creative freedom even when others tried to get in the way.
