[edit] Biography
Haddon was born and raised in Montréal, Québec, Canada - and speaks both English and French. As a child, she was enrolled in dancing classes to develop her physique, and she performed well enough to become a member of Les Grandes Ballets Canadiennes at 13. She was chosen Miss Montreal at 18.
Her looks and physique provided an easy entree to modeling, and she quickly became a 1970s and 1980s super model whose face represented Max Factor, Revlon, Estee Lauder, L'Oreal. She appeared on the cover of the 1973 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and was twice named to Harper's Bazaar's "Ten Most Beautiful Women."
Her looks enabled an entry to film, where she landed a role in the Disney movie The World's Greatest Athlete (1973). Disney saw a future for her in their films, but Dayle had other ideas - a nude pictorial for Playboy. She moved to Europe, continued modeling, and landed a string of softcore film roles as well as occasional small parts in American movies. Her best known roles were in Madame Claude (1977) and the titular role in Spermula (1976). She returned to America on marriage and the birth of her daughter, Ryan Haddon.
[edit] Personal life
Haddon's husband died suddenly in 1991, leaving her with little money and a 15-year-old daughter to raise alone. No longer able to afford to live in her house in New York City, she eventually found a position in a small advertising agency in Los Angeles, but soon learned that a coyote in a car commercial the agency was filming earned more money than she did.[citation needed]
Clairol selected her as a spokesperson, and she became the face of a new anti-aging line for Estee Lauder. On the day that the Estee Lauder contract expired L'Oreal signed her. She now has her own company, Dayle Haddon Concepts Inc, and travels the world as a L'Oreal spokesperson for middle-aged women.
