Fashion model and one-time actress Dovima wearing bikini, lying on platform near water, Montego Bay, Jamaica, November 1946. Photograph by Toni Frissell, similar image published in Harper's Bazaar, May 1947.

From Wikipedia: Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba (December 11, 1927 – May 3, 1990), best known as Dovima, was one of the supermodels of the 1950s. A supermodel before the term became widely known, Dovima was reputed to be the highest-paid model of her time. She had a cameo role as an empty-headed fashion model with a Jackson Heights whine in Funny Face (Paramount, 1957).
