Annabel Schofield, supermodel and ‘Dallas’ star, dead at 62
Supermodel and “Dallas” star Annabel Schofield has died at the age of 62 after a battle with cancer.
Schofield, who appeared on the front cover of Vogue magazines and starred in campaigns for major brands such as “Yves Saint Laurent,” died on Feb. 28 in Los Angeles, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter.
She revealed in a GoFundMe post that she found out in July her cancer had spread to her brain amid her three-year fight.
During her career, the Welsh-born model starred in commercials for brands such as Rimmel, Revlon and Boots No.7.
She became particularly famous for her role in a Bugle Boy Jeans TV commercial where she said, “Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?” while driving a black Ferrari in the desert.
Schofield moved to Los Angeles and played Laurel Ellis in “Dallas,” appearing in 12 episodes of the beloved series in 1988, according to her IMDB.
She also appeared in “Dragonard,” “Solar Crisis” and “Eye of the Widow” and in an episode of “Dangerous Curves” in 1992.
Schofield also turned her hand to production as she was part of the team for the movies “The Brothers Grimm,” “Doom” and “City of Ember,” according to her IMDB.
Away from the movie set, she documented her cancer battle with a series of posts on GoFundMe.
Her last post was on Jan. 18, where she told her fans she had surgery removing a large mass in her nasal cavity.
She said she was feeling “pretty wobbly and weak” but was relieved she could breathe through her nose.
Melissa Richardson, the owner of the Take Two Agency — the firm that represented Schofield early in her career — has led the tributes.
“She never changed from the sweet little 17-year-old Welsh girl I first met,” she said.
“She was directly loyal, caring, and above all, a raging beauty. She knew her craft. She was the best.”
