In 1938, the year of her debut, Frazier was dubbed "the #1 Glamour Girl" and was considered to be “the best
advertisement for just about everything.”
Brenda Diana Duff Frazier (June 9, 1921 – May 3, 1982) was an American socialite popular during the Depression era. Her
December 1938 debutante ball was so heavily publicized worldwide, she eventually appeared on the cover of Life magazine
for that reason alone. She was known and dubbed a "Poor Little Rich Girl" by the media, along with other famous
socialites and debutantes Barbara Hutton, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Doris Duke...
Frazier was routinely photographed and popularized the famous "white-face" look: powdered white skin contrasted with
red-painted lips, combined with perfectly coiffed dark hair. (She later said she suffered from neck problems because she
rarely moved her head for fear of mussing her hair.) The publicity and constant attention got to the point where she
found it “devastating”, in that it turned her into an attraction and robbed her of her own identity. Concurrently, Frazier
developed anorexia and bulimia to keep her weight down;[9] she once quipped that she had "invented" anorexia.
Frazier’s friends reported that later in her life she would eat “strange” foods, restrict dinner, and she was capable of
eating nearly all her refrigerator’s contents in one sitting and then purging it all.
On March 16, 1961, Frazier attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.She was discovered and survived the
attempt but would make thirty more suicide attempts throughout her life. In 1963, she wrote a piece for Life
magazine – the same publication on whose cover she had appeared 25 years earlier (although the cover of that
week's issue was given to the state funeral of the assassinated President Kennedy) – titled "My Debut – A Horror"
In 1966, photographer Diane Arbus took a now-famous picture of Frazier for Esquire magazine. The photo featured
a gaunt Frazier heavily made up in her signature white face powder and red lipstick, propped up in bed with a cigarette in
hand, looking wearily toward the camera.
On May 3, 1982, Frazier died of bone cancer at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Boston at the age of 60. "She didn't stand
a chance," wrote biographer Diliberto. "There was no way she was going to be happy. Her life was basically
over before it began."
