Paulene Stone


Paulene Stone is a British former model. She was a Vogue cover girl who embodied Swinging London in the 1960s.

Early life and career

She was born in Guildford and quit school at the age of 16 to work in London commuting from her home in Goring-by-Sea. After winning a modeling competition, she began her career as a model. A 1960 photo that ran in the Daily Express of her crouching down with a squirrel led to a contract with Vogue magazine and also launched the career of celebrated photographer David Bailey.

In 1963, Stone married Tony Norris, with whom she had one daughter, Sophie Harvey. The couple divorced in 1967.
In 1969, Stone gave birth to actor Laurence Harvey's only child, Domino Harvey, while he was married to Joan Perry. Stone married Harvey in 1972, the marriage lasting only a year before his death, in 1973.

In Domino, the film about the life of Stone's daughter Domino, Paulene is played by actress Jacqueline Bisset. Stone, however, requested that her name not be used in the film. The character was renamed Sophie Wynn.
