Dolores Hawkins Phelps, a
Vogue cover model, died last week, aged 90, in Independence, Texas, where she had raised three sons, bred horses, and, with Stuart Lee Phelps, her husband of 55 years, run a real-estate business from an old converted schoolhouse.
There’s a wonderful circularity about Hawkins Phelps ending up in a town with a name that described a characteristic she possessed in abundance. “When I first started in this business, a top photographer told me I’d never make it, but he’s eaten his words since,” said the model in a 1966 interview. “If you tell [Dolores] she can’t do it, believe me she’ll do it,” said her daughter-in-law Cori Phelps on a call.
