Babette March (pronounced Marx, born Barbara Marchlowitz) or simply Babette,[1] who is now known by the name Babette Beatty,[2] was the first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model.[3][4][5] She was on the swimsuit issue cover of the January 20, 1964 issue.[6]

According to a Sports Illustrated retrospective, in her prime, she was the "highest-paid model of her day" while working for Ford Models.[1][dubious – discuss] Eileen Ford, describes March as the first elite photographic model to be successful while having gapped teeth.[7] The New York Times refers to her by the mononym "Babette" while listing her alongside the likes of contemporaries Lauren Hutton and Colleen Corby.[8] She was known for living the high life and for partying with the likes of Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol.[2][9]

In 1976, she retired from modeling, then moved to a 54-acre (0.22 km2) farm outside Montreal where she raised pedigreed cattle, 40 sheep, 80 chickens and ducks, three horses, 14 dogs and 18 cats.[1][9] She then married Dale Beatty, an architect, and settled in Template:USCity, where she and her husband opened a bakery, restaurant, and art gallery.[9] She has become a highly-regarded chef, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.[10] Her renovation, restoration and rejuvenation of the landmark bed & breakfast, art center, bakery and restaurant was featured on a 30 minute Home & Garden Television channel show.[11] Her art work has been featured on the label of a line of wines.[12]

According to Sports Illustrated, she was born in Berlin and raised in Brazil, Germany and Canada.[1] According to her own web site, she was born in Berlin in 1941, moved to Rio de Janeiro 1949, traveled from 1959 to 1961, lived in Manhattan from 1961 to 1979, lived in Montreal 1979 to 1986, resided in Template:USCity and Template:City-state from 1986 to 1992 after which she moved to Halfway.[13]
