Chicago publicist Dori Wilson, who moved through charity balls and cultural affairs with the style and assurance of the fashion model she’d once been, died Monday at 77.
She’d attended a friend’s funeral hours earlier. After returning to her home on Marine Drive, Ms. Wilson decided to take a rest, and she never woke up, according to her assistant Melinda Guerra.
Born in Winona, Mississippi, she came to Chicago when she was 7 and grew into a barrier-breaking Black model and favorite subject of famed photographer Victor Skrebneski. Ms. Wilson appeared in ads for Virginia Slims cigarettes, among other products.
