So said the quotable Tallulah Bankhead when asked about the most important quality in acting. Too bad even this standard has been compromised in Hollywood. Bone structure is the first thing you notice about Iekeliene Stange, apart from her unusual name.

I have rarely if ever seen a girl with such a face. Not in the places I’ve been. Of course, I haven’t been to the Netherlands yet, where for all I know it isn’t irregular to have perfectly angular faces everywhere you look. If that’s the case, then when Iekeliene starts a fad for models with similar appeal the Netherlands can expect an invasion of scouts.

Iekeliene Stange in Vogue Nippon, September 2006
There are fashion models whose strongpoint is their body, but with Iekeliene it is her face. So much so, she could be completely wrapped up in a nun’s habit and still astonish. To me there is some resemblance to actress Faye Dunaway. Like her, Iekeliene would seem to be especially suited for looks that reference certain time periods (for example the 20s-30s, the late 60s and late 70s/early 80s, when those cheekbones were all the rage):

However, Iekeliene would exceed any time period’s standard of beauty. Who knows. Maybe she would be interested in an acting career – she certainly meets the first requirement according to Tallulah.

I was thinking more along the lines of a young Margot Kidder…

Yikes! She looks terrible - like a skeleton. It looks like she barely eats and doe not even have the energy to keep her eyes open - looks droopy. The girl needs to gain a little weight and she’ll be perfect.
