Foxe, Cyrinda: Born Kathleen Hetzekian in Santa Monica, California, Cyrinda was a Marilyn Monroe look-alike who worked for the MainMan organisation and appeared as the dancer in THE JEAN GENIE promotional video in 1972. She is mentioned as "Lorraine" in "Watch That Man" on ALADDIN SANE (1973) (...No one took their eyes off Lorraine, She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll, Her leathers looked better and better - it was so-so...) and was to marry David Johansen of the New York Dolls and later Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Mick Rock states that she was a heavy influence on him during the first US Tour with Bowie wearing her clothes, imitating her makeup and incorporating some of her gestures in his stage act.  In 1999 she released a tell-all book of her life titled "Dream On" which includes a chapter on her association with David and Angie Bowie. Sadly Cyrinda Foxe-Tyler died at 51 of a cancerous brain tumor in September 2001. See more about her here.
