Jacquie “Tajah” Murdock, a former dancer who grew up in
Harlem, NY was picked by French fashion label “Lanvin” for their fall 2012 advertising
campaign. She has always dreamed of being a professional model and her dream
finally came true, landing her first major modeling assignment at the age of 82.
I've come across a few inspiring articles on Ms. Murdock and at age 17 she appeared
onstage at the Apollo Theatre for the first time in a troupe called
Norma Miller’s Jazz Dancers and has been dancing ever since. She is an expert
in Russian ballet and was a belly dancer at Manhattan’s Istanbul Club in the
1960’s. A beautiful woman and a good
reminder to never give up one's dreams - no matter our age.
