Early life Suzy Parker was born Cecilia Ann Renee Parker in Long Island City, New York, to George and Elizabeth Parker, who married in 1916. She had three older sisters: Dorian, Florian, and Georgiabell. Elizabeth believed she was undergoing menopause, but then discovered she was several months pregnant with her youngest child, Cecilia ("Suzy"). Suzy's original names came from three of her mother's best friends. A then-teenaged Dorian advised her mother to arrange the names in the order, Cecilia Renee Ann Parker, so the initials of the names would spell the word "crap". Dorian claimed her mother had no idea what it meant. Parker's father George disliked the name Cecilia and called her Susie, a name which Parker would retain throughout her life. A French Vogue photographer later changed the spelling to "Suzy". Parker's family later moved to Highland Park, New Jersey, and then to Florida. Parker was a model with the Walter Thornton agency and later her sister Dorian, herself one of the top models of the era, introduced her to Eileen Ford. Career Parker and two of her sisters were tall, all measuring between and . Sister Dorian (who modelled under the name Dorian Leigh) was the sole exception, standing .
