Selene Mahri (born Solveig Ann Mari Eklund; December 17, 1924 – March 3, 2020), also known as Selene Eklund Weaver, was a Finnish-American fashion model and pin-up girl. During World War II, she appeared on the covers of Vogue, Life, and Cosmopolitan. She was also the poster girl and face of the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) and a pin-up girl for Yank, the Army Weekly.
Mahri was also known for her personal life, including being the mistress of Greek shipping billionaire Stavros Niarchos. She was also married to and divorced from three millionaires and is credited with coining the saying, "Marriage is a question of give and take. You give. I take."[2]
