Peggy Ann Freeman (August 31, 1945 – May 17, 1979), known professionally as Donyale Luna (occasionally billed simply as Luna), was an American model and actress who gained popularity in Western Europe during the late 1960s. Generally cited as "the first Black supermodel", Luna was the first Black model to appear on the cover of the British edition of Vogue, in March 1966.
Luna made several underground films with Andy Warhol beginning in 1965, and following the experimental film Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? (1966), she appeared in Otto Preminger's Skidoo (1968) and Federico Fellini's Satyricon (1969).
