Said David Bailey

“Unlike Shrimp ton and Deneuve, Penelope was fantastic in terms of style—avant-garde. When she was 19, they offered her the edi torship of Italian Vogue. Penelope was out there! You should have seen her father’s face when she walked out with a skirt made of raccoon tails, and her knickers below her skirt! But Penelope’s father was great. He once said, "We’re almost the same because we’re so far apart that the circle’s almost complete.” But Penelope was something special. I think she changed a generation of young American girls.“

John Lennon was said to have called Penelope Tree, Hot, Hot, Hot, Smart, Smart, Smart.
