Beginning in the early 60’s I was pictured in all ads and commercials for Breck Creme Rinse, shot by the likes of Bert Stern (famous for his Marilyn Monroe photos), Richard Avedon and Mel Sokolsky (who later shot the Guerlain Mitsouko perfume ad).

The ad above, shot by Mel Sokolsky, inspired him to create the famous Mitsouko by Guerlain perfume ad, which won many international awards. Melvin Sokolsky ©  wwwsokolsky.com

Decades later, I would be included in The Breck Girl Hall of Fame, which included Kim Basinger, Brooke Shields, Cheryl Tieg, Jaclyn Smith, Cybill Shepherd, Christie Brinkley and many others.

Virginia Wing was inducted into The Breck Girl Hall of Fame on July 20, 1992.
