Dale Haddon, a model and actress who graced the covers of many magazines in the 1970s and 1980s and was also the face of the famous cosmetics brand L’Oreal, was found dead at her daughter’s home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He was 76 years old. The cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
Authorities discovered Dale Haddon’s body around 6:30 a.m. Dec. 27 in his daughter’s bedroom in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, local police said. 76-year-old Walter Bluekas, the father-in-law of his daughter, was also in the hospital in a state of unconsciousness and fighting for his life.
High levels of carbon monoxide, or carbon monoxide, were detected in the building and three rescuers were treated for exposure to the highly toxic gas. Officials said the leak was likely caused by a faulty chimney and pipe in the gas heating system.
A model who became the “spokesman of his age”.
Canadian-born Dale Haddon was a top model of the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, “With bright blue eyes, thick black hair, and bold red lips, she graced the covers of top fashion and beauty magazines such as Vogue Paris, “Cosmopolitan”, “. Elle”, “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” and “Bazar” – “New York Times” wrote about her. At the age of 30, she moved to another place. She went to Paris with her husband and daughter and started acting.

But when she turned 38, she was told—like many women in fashion—she was “too old” to be a model, she admitted in a 2003 NYT interview. But Haddon was determined to prove the industry wrong. So, she continued her modeling work, but – as she explained in one of the conversations – “in a different way”. “I became a spokesperson for my age,” he said.
She signed a long-term contract with the famous cosmetics company L’Oréal Paris and changed from swimwear to elegant clothes and became the face of beautiful brands. As “NYT” reminds, she continued to appear on the cover of publications such as “Zoomer Magazine” and “Total Health Magazine”.
Later, Haddon wrote books on aging and became a UNICEF ambassador. She also ran the charity WomenOne, which focuses on education for young girls.
