Notability issues/credibility

I just don't believe the 25-year-later SI claim that she was the "highest-paid" model of her day. Higher paid than Twiggy? Jean Shrimpton? Penelope Tree? Edie Sedgwick? Veruschka? I've checked various newspaper and magazine databases, and can't find her mentioned in any context outside the SI cover -- and not a single article outside of SI reports anything like this implausible claim. And it's an illogical claim, too -- why would SI hire the highest-paid model of the day for what was then an article of no particular significance, an experiment?

Well, the Sports Illustrated article doesn't explicitly say she was the highest-paid model when she appeared on their cover. According to this Chicago Tribune piece by Eileen Ford, March didn't even join the Ford Model Agency until about 1965. Zagalejo^^^ 19:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
