  • THE CONQUERING HEROINE: Bebe Buell

    Style December 2020

    THE CONQUERING HEROINE: Bebe Buell

    Her first four dates on moving to New York were Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Todd Rundgren. It was the early 1970s: free love reigned, and the singer, muse and model Bebe Buell was queen.

  • Lynda Carter: The original superheroine

    Icons November 2020

    Lynda Carter: The original superheroine

    Lynda Carter’s classic seventies take on Wonder Woman is the only version worthy of the name. Though not for the reasons we might assume.

    A history of women racers

    Before there was Danica Patrick and Ashley Force Hood, there was Liane Engeman and Shirley ‘Cha Cha’ Muldowney. THE RAKE pays tribute to the women who blazed a trail in motorsport, burning off gallons of sexism and abuse as they did so…

    Style September 2020

    STAND UP, BE COUNTED: Lena Horne

    Lena Horne spent an extraordinary seven decades as a singer, dancer, actress and activist in 20th-century America. What prejudice must she have faced — and faced down. Her epitaph will ring through the ages: ‘Nobody black or white who believes in democracy can stand aside now.’

  • Together Again, Kid

    Icons March 2020

    Together Again, Kid

    Originally featured in Issue 38 of The Rake, David Smiedt expertly examines how the death of the legendary Lauren Bacall in 2014 shone a new light on her marriage to Humphrey Bogart, evidence that love can conquer all, including the increasingly invasive spotlight of a celebrity couple.

  • Cathy Moriarty: The Bronx Knockout

    Icons September 2017

    Cathy Moriarty: The Bronx Knockout

    Cathy Moriarty was perfectly cast as the doe-eyed wife whose cheekbones were no defence against Jake LaMotta’s temper. Raging Bull, the 1980 classic, made Moriarty an overnight success, but Hollywood has not been kind to her since.

  • Debbie Harry: Sylph-Perpetuating Myth

    Icons August 2017

    Debbie Harry: Sylph-Perpetuating Myth

    At the height of her punk power, Debbie Harry was lionised as she ironised. But at all times she was in control, a woman whose image was no one’s business but her own.

  • Ingrid Bergman: Swede Disposition

    Icons July 2017

    Ingrid Bergman: Swede Disposition

    Even in her twilight years, Ingrid Bergman did what she had always done: repelled the Hollywood forces that would judge her, reduce her, control her.

  • The Heart Grows Fonda

    Icons April 2017

    The Heart Grows Fonda

    She is a libertine, a political and social activist and at the age of 79, Jane Fonda remains her gauntlet-hurling, shit-stirring, couldn’t give a damn self.

  • Diamond Gal: Audrey Hepburn

    Diamond Gal: Audrey Hepburn

    The impact Audrey Hepburn had on pop culture is immeasurable, but to remember her as just an actress or a style icon does little justice to her character or biography. From…

    Dual Control: Dominique Sanda

    How might a woman elicit, from a man, both his most gentlemanly instincts and his darkest inner desires simultaneously? Dominique Sanda had this, as well as on-camera versatility, whittled down…

  • Raising The Teutonic: Veruschka von Lehndorff

    Icons July 2016

    Raising The Teutonic: Veruschka von Lehndorff

    She is the daughter of a doomed German resistance fighter who used modelling as an escape from the pain of her childhood. ‘I am Veruschka’, she would say, ‘and I’d…
