Peggy Ann Freeman (August 31, 1945 – May 17, 1979), known professionally as Donyale Luna, was an American model and actress who gained popularity in Western Europe during the late 1960s.[2][3] Generally cited as "the first Black supermodel",[4][5] Luna was the first African-American model to appear on the cover of the British edition of Vogue, in March 1966.[6][7]
Luna made several underground films with Andy Warhol beginning in 1965, and following the experimental film Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? (1966), she appeared in Otto Preminger's Skidoo (1968) and Federico Fellini's Satyricon (1969).
