Billie Blair

Billie Blair is an American former model.

Early life Blair was born in Arkansas to parents Hattie and William Blair, and is of African-American descent. Her name was given to her due to her father's certainty that she was going to be a boy. His plan was to name his child William Junior; however, when Blair was born a girl, she was given the shortened version of that name, "Billie". They eventually moved to Flint, Michigan during the height of the auto industry there. When landing in New York, Blair had shaved her head completely bald for a jewelry modeling job where she had to resemble an Egyptian. During her heyday, Blair earned $400 a day and received offers from magazines like Ebony and Mademoiselle.

Blair is currently a minister residing in Defiance, Ohio.
