Surrealist artists Pablo Picasso, Lee Miller, Man Ray and Roland Penrose were so enamored by Ady Fidelin, a Guadeloupan dancer in a Paris cabaret, that she became one of them, going on holiday with them and posing in their nearly 400 photographs and paintings. One of those photographs landed in the pages of Harper's Bazaar, making Ady the first black model in an American major fashion magazine. So how come Ady was written out of books, publications and didn't see any fame for her contribution? And where would Man Ray be without her? In this episode, the story of Adrienne Fidelin, the magnificent muse.
