Early life and career

Born in Guildford, she left school at the age of 16 to work in central London, commuting daily from her home in Goring-by-Sea.{{Cite news|title=At 78, Paulene Stone, the former Vogue cover model, has still got it. Words by Jonathan Whiley. |newspaper=Mayfair Times|date= November 20, 2019|url=https://mayfairtimes.co.uk/2019/11/sixties-it-girl/ }} After winning a modeling competition (the prize being £100 and a three-week course at the Cherry Marshall Modelling Agency), she began her career as a model. A 1960 photo that ran in the Daily Express of her crouching down with a squirrel led to a contract with Vogue magazine and also launched the career of the photographer David Bailey.{{cite book|title=Ready, Steady, Go!: The Smashing Rise and Giddy Fall of Swinging London|url=https://archive.org/details/readysteadygo00shaw|author=Levy, Shawn|date=8 July 2003 |isbn=978-0-7679-0588-6|url-access=registration}}{{cite web|title=The Real Blow Up: Fashion, Fame and Photography in the '60s - 10 August, BBC TWO|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2002/07_july/16/blow_up.shtml|date=16 July 2002|website=BBC Press Office}}{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/love-sex/no-regrets--photographer-david-bailey-talks-about-his-eventful-life-1517333.html|title=No regrets - photographer David Bailey talks about his eventful life|website=Independent.ie|date=2 November 2008|author=Collins, Britt}}

Personal life

In 1963, Stone married Tony Norris, with whom she had one daughter, Sophie Harvey. The couple divorced in 1967.

In 1969, Stone gave birth to actor Laurence Harvey's only child, Domino Harvey, while he was still married to Joan Perry. Stone eventually married Harvey in 1972, the marriage lasting only a year before his sudden death from cancer in 1973.

In 1978, Paulene Stone married Peter Morton, co-founder of the Hard Rock Cafe restaurant chain, and moved to Los Angeles. They had one son, restaurateur Harry Morton.{{Cite news|url=https://people.com/food/harry-morton-dies-at-38/|title=Restaurateur Harry Morton, 38, Found Dead in Beverly Hills Home by Younger Brother|last=Pasquini|first=Maria|date=24 November 2019|website=People.com}} They divorced in 1986.

Stone's fourth marriage, in 1995, was to actor Mark Burns to whom she remained married until his death in May 2007.

In Domino, the film about the life of Stone's daughter Domino, Paulene is played by actress Jacqueline Bisset. Stone, however, requested that her name not be used in the film and therefore the character was renamed Sophie Wynn.{{cite news |title=Vogue model Paulene Stone treasures the domino that Tony Scott gave her |first=Tim |last=Walker |date=2012-08-23 |work=The Daily Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9492873/Vogue-model-Paulene-Stone-treasures-the-domino-that-Tony-Scott-gave-her.html |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120823225929/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9492873/Vogue-model-Paulene-Stone-treasures-the-domino-that-Tony-Scott-gave-her.html |archive-date=2012-08-23 |access-date=2022-03-03}}
