In 1966, ANGEL FACE launched its campaign for its Foundation Powder product with a print series featuring 3 young career women: Elizabeth Pineda, a model and a UST Fine Arts student; Geraldine Keesey, a school teacher; and MILDRED “Millie” LOEWINSOHN, a Philippine Airlines stewardess.
Manila-born Loewinsohn (b. 28 Apr. 1947) was just a fresh 21 year-old Assumption College graduate when she joined the national flag carrier as a stewardess. Her being bi-lingual (she speaks Spanish) served her well in her job as nan international purser.
Through the 70s-80s, Millie continued to model for
photographers and artists like Santiago Bose and Wig Tysmans,
both from Baguio. She also dabbled in photography, an interest she pursued when she moved to Guam in the early
1980s, where she worked as a lab technician/photographer . She stayed in Guam for over 9 years. In December 1993, she went to the United
States, where she got married, but was later divorced. Loewinsohn
now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where
she works as a wedding photographer.
