Helen Ryan in Black & White ~ 1950s-1960s

Although married, Helen Ryan was a very popular junior model in the 1950s. She appeared on the covers and in the editorial pages and ads of teen magazines and was a Seventeen magazine favorite.

In the 1960s, Helen’s modeling jobs reflected who she was in real life…a pretty, young wife and mother.

Helen was interviewed about her modeling career for the Ford Models/Fashion Institute of Technology Archives in July 2010. At that time, she generously allowed us to scan many of her high-quality still photos and contact sheets for her Portfolio Album:
