Donyale Luna: Supermodel Composer Kelly Mac On Scoring For An Unsung Legend

Donyale Luna: Supermodel is an insightful look into the life of a groundbreaking but underappreciated pioneer. Donyale Luna was the first African-American model to grace the cover of the British edition of Vogue magazine. Luna garnered that accolade in 1966; it was nearly a decade later, in 1974, when Beverly Johnson did the same with the magazine’s American counterpart. Donyale Luna: Supermodel was directed by Nailah Jefferson, whose other work includes Vanishing Pearls: The Oystermen of Pointe a la Hache and Plaquemines.
