Wilhelmina died March 1, 1980 at the age of 40 years old, but not before she secured her last cover of a major fashion magazine. Upon her death, she Wilhelmina had set the record at 27 for the most covers by a single model on the American edition of Vogue. That record has yet to be broken today. After her death more than 20 years later, the agency which bears her name continues to have name recognition and respect not in the United States, but in ever major fashion market around the planet.
Bonjour Willy!
