    • Born. Peggy Ann Freeman, who later changed her name to Donyale Luna, was born in Detroit in 1945 to Nathaniel and Peggy Freeman. Her father worked in Ford Motors manufacturing, and her mother was a Young Women’s Christian Association secretary.
    • Growing up. Luna grew up with two sisters and her sisters explained in the HBO documentary that Donyale always knew she would be famous.
    • Changing her identity. Donyale was obsessed with theater and wanted to be a movie star. When she became a teenager she started to separate from her born identity, making up the name Donyale Luna, claiming to be of multiple races and ethnicities, and started speaking in a signature accent.
    • Scouted. One day, Donyale stopped by a photoshoot near her Catholic school out of curiosity. Fashion photographer David McCabe saw the six-foot-tall Donyale and knew that she had to be a model.
