Donyale Luna (August 31, 1945 – May 17, 1979) was an American model and actress. In 1966, Luna became the first black model to appear on the cover of ''Vogue''.〔()〕〔()〕 She also appeared in several underground films by Andy Warhol, and had roles in ''Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?'' (1966), and most notably as Enotea in the 1969 Federico Fellini film ''Fellini Satyricon''. ==Birth and childhood== She was born Peggy Ann Freeman in Detroit, Michigan, to Nathaniel A. and Peggy Freeman (née Hertzog).〔While some sources give her birth name as Peggy Anne Donyale Aragonea Pegeon Freeman, the name on her birth certificate is Peggy Ann Freeman.〕 She was the youngest of three daughters. In January 1965, her mother fatally shot her father in self-defense as he was reportedly abusive. Despite the parentage stated on her birth certificate, she insisted that her biological father was a man with the surname Luna and that her mother was Indigenous Mexican and of Afro-Egyptian lineage. According to Luna, one of her grandmothers was reportedly a former Irish actress who married a black interior decorator. Whether any of this background is true is uncertain. Luna's sister later described her as being "a very weird child, even from birth, living in a wonderland, a dream". She would routinely create fantasies about her background and herself. As a teen, she attended Cass Technical High School, where she studied journalism and was in the school choir.〔(Parade ) - ''The Modesto Bee'', 8 January 1967〕 It was during this time that she began calling herself "Donyale". She was later described by friends and classmates as being "kind of a kook".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donyale Luna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
