Ruth Anderson set 17 of 19

About this set

Per Bunny Yeager: At 25 years of age Ruth's vital measurements were height of 5 feet 8 inches and curves of 40-24-36. A signed model release showing the standard $25 fee paid per session. $25 in 1968 is worth approximately $220 today in 2024. The photographer kept all the money from photo sales; the model did not receive any additional payments. Although this might strike us today as unfair, the photographer had significant overhead in equipment, supplies, studio or locations, travel, time, etc. Ruth, and other models in that era, did the modeling for the money, which Ruth mentioned in her interview, and the money did help her at that time.
