After World War II, they moved to Oldenburg, Germany.[16] The family immigrated to Chicago, Illinois in 1954.[17] She became one of the most famous models of the 1950s and 1960s, and during her career, she appeared on the cover of 255 magazines. Wilhelmina also modeled in Europe, and in France she worked for both Coco Chanel and Christian Dior.[18] She also holds the record for most covers on American Vogue, appearing 27[19] or 28 times.[1] According to her obituary in Time magazine:
On 5 February 1965 she married Victor Bruce Cooper, former executive producer of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.[20] They had two children together.[21] In 1967 they founded Wilhelmina Models, which became the other leading model agency alongside Ford Models, years before Elite Model Management and other agencies began. DeathOn 1 March 1980, Cooper died of lung cancer at the age of 40 in Greenwich Hospital, Greenwich, Connecticut.[22][23] In popular cultureCooper was portrayed by Faye Dunaway in the 1998 movie Gia, which tells the story of Gia Carangi, a model who was discovered by Cooper and later died of AIDS. In American sitcom Ugly Betty, adapted from Colombian telenovela Betty La Fea, the antagonist Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa L. Williams) is named as a tribute to Cooper. Her nickname, Willy, and the fact that she became a successful businesswoman in fashion after being a model were attached directly to the character.
