AceShowbiz - Dayle Haddon's final modeling appearance was an unforgettable moment captured in a Vogue photoshoot published in September. The legendary model and actress, who tragically died at the age of 76 from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, joined forces with Blake Lively in a cinematic photoshoot titled "The Heist of the Heart", directed by Baz Luhrmann.
Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "To Catch a Thief", Haddon and Lively shared the spotlight in a striking image at a gambling table, exuding effortless elegance as they exchanged chips. Haddon expressed her admiration for Lively in her Instagram caption accompanying the photo, praising her beauty, kindness, and generosity on set.
Haddon's extensive modeling career included iconic moments such as her appearance on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in 1973. She graced the covers of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar numerous times and was the face of major beauty brands like Estee Lauder and L'Oreal. Her acting career spanned both Hollywood and international cinema, with notable roles in films such as "Cyborg" (1989) and Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" (1994).
Four months before her passing, Haddon appeared alongside Lively in the now-infamous Vogue photoshoot alongside Hugh Jackman. She described the experience as "wonderful" and expressed her gratitude for the collaboration with Luhrmann, Lively and other members of the team.
Tragically, Haddon's life was cut short on December 27, 2023, when she was discovered unresponsive in a home owned by her son-in-law Marc Blucas. Police attributed her death to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a faulty gas heating system. Her legacy as a legendary model, actress and advocate for women's rights will continue to inspire future generations.
