Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (French: Qui êtes vous, Polly Maggoo?) is a 1966 French film directed by William Klein.
It is a satirical art house movie spoofing the fashion world and its excesses. It stars Dorothy McGowan as supermodel Polly Maggoo being followed by a French television crew. It also stars Grayson Hall as Miss Maxwell, a fashion magazine editor modelled after Diana Vreeland, and Philippe Noiret as the TV reporter and director. Also appearing in the film are Jean Rochefort, Sami Frey, Alice Sapritch and supermodel of the time, Donyale Luna – transcendent as the fashion show’s finalé girl.
Dorothy McGowan and Donyale Luna
McGowan, the Brooklyn-born star and one-time Vogue cover girl in 1962, was one of William Klein’s favourite models. After the release of the film, which was McGowan’s first and only film role, she disappeared from public view and apparently neither acted nor modelled again, according to Klein.
