I believe that MacGill was quite a noteworthy person in the modelling field. She founded Mannequin in New York Cityat a time, 1960, when women seldom owned their own companies. She employed a successful African-American model, Mozella Roberts, before black models were popular. She is also well-known in her industry as can be seen by the many references to her in the New York Times, and the the respect she is given in comments by models, designers, Bergdorf Goodman owner, Andrew Goodman, and Geraldine Stutz, President of Henri Bendel--Robert 17:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I see three reliable references in the article, thus it passes A7 muster. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
