Caron Ross
Socialite
(1947-1977)
We have lost touch with most of the subjects of these images, at least the ones who stayed in Philadelphia. We still see Bob Rose frequently, as he
and his wife, Rebecca White, moved to New York City. He is now a professional chef; still carving. The rest, we don't know about, except for
Caron Ross: she's dead; proof that it is possible to be too rich, or too thin.
She was a divorcee with plenty of money and a Mercedes roadster. She ran
with a fast crowd (KAS' crowd when she was working as an assistant fashion
photographer). She died alone of a drug overdose, shortly after this image was made.
