DAYLE HADDON is a model, TV correspondent, an actress, a dancer, an author, a widow, a mother, and a grandmother. Fifteen years ago her husband died suddenly, leaving her to raise her then fifteen-year-old daughter alone. Pretty soon she was financially depleted, and had to find work. The only things she knew were modeling, dancing, and acting, but when she tried to find work in any of these areas, doors started slamming in her face. "You're past it." "You're too old." "Thanks, but no thanks." Eventually, she managed to find a position in a small LA advertising agency, filing, making coffee, and answering phones. One day, as she was routinely organizing the week's documents, she discovered the coyote in the Dodge commercial the agency was filming earned more money than she did. She decided it was time to move on.
Again, Dayle started knocking on doors to tell major cosmetics companies that they were really missing something -- a voice for her generation. Again, she had doors slammed in her face. But this time she didn't give up. And then a breakthrough: Clairol featured Dayle as spokesperson on a major hair color line. Next, she was chosen to represent Estée Lauder's new anti-aging products, and then she became the face and the voice behind L'Oréal's Age Perfect line.

Since then, Dayle has begun to translate her own self-care practices and knowledge of beauty, health, and wellness for women, helping women incorporate a healthier lifestyle into the their professional and personal lives.
