Produktbeschreibung

Aileen Benay Farley under the pen name of F. R. Lee was born July on 28, 1917, in Illinois. At a young age, she and her parents and sister relocated to Vero Beach, Florida. In 1926, Aileens father built the house where Aileen continued to live into her later years. Aileen went to college in Chicago where she studied Dress Designing. During this time, she was discovered, and became a high fashion runway model during the 30s and 40s and into the early 50s in New York City. She was also a model for Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics, and was frequently on magazine covers, such as McCalls. Some of her modeling pictures are also in the Library of Congress. Over the years, Aileen drove back and forth from New York City to Vero Beach in a 1956 Ford she called Henry, since she spent the winters in Vero Beach avoiding the cold winters in the North. Aileen was not married and had no children, and in later years, became very eccentric living in the house built by her father. Aileen owned property in Vero Beach, part of which was an orange grove, and another part of the property had a natural hammock. At her propertys sale, she requested that the hammock was not to be destroyed. While Aileen was in Vero Beach, she would spend long hours tending to her citrus grove and property. This property is an up-scale, gated community located in southwestern Vero Beach and presently called Lost Hammock. In addition, the main street through the community is named, Farleys Court after Aileen. The original manuscript of this book Remedy for Romance, which Aileen typed on a manual typewriter, was included among numerous pictures of her modeling days, and discovered after her death in 2003.
