Transcript

00:00I always worked with the same components, sky, sun, sand, girl, swimsuit.

00:11How did I get started at Sports Illustrated?

00:15Oh my God, that seems like a thousand years ago.

00:18Oh, she looks cute in her bathing suit.

00:23No, not a picture of her bum, but a picture where you see her bum.

00:27Look at all the now feminist women asking me.

00:31Okay.

00:32And I'm already going straight to hell.

00:34It wasn't easy working as a woman in time eight.

00:37It was run by men for men.

00:39When I showed the pictures, I would have the managing editor there,

00:43and he could salivate while he looked at them.

00:45Sometimes I'd want to do this.

00:48It was a world that didn't feel safe, and I know I would not have stayed if not for Julie.

00:54I wasn't into the obviously sexy, which made it even sexier.

00:58She wasn't looking for perfection.

01:00She was looking for energy.

01:02I did not see myself as the all-American girl, but Julie did.

01:07This is her putting a black girl and a white girl together and saying,

01:10what, what America, what?

01:12She didn't want to objectify women.

01:14She wanted to make them people.

01:16If they wanted the sexiest pictures, I would take them out so they never even see them.

01:21This is what we have been given as our powers, and then we are shamed for using them.

01:26Women will be shamed for everything, won't they?

01:29You've never seen a nipple before?

01:31Well, the Madonna whore thing is totally patriarchal.

01:34Right?

01:35They don't control what beauty is.

01:36We do now.

01:37It's something that Julie actually set in motion long ago.

01:40We are all beautiful human beings, so take a picture of it.

01:47Life is all too short.

01:49It comes, stays, it goes.

01:51Make a wish.

01:53She never really got the credit that she deserved.

01:57Hi, Jules.

01:59We were just talking about how much you loved us and made us feel beautiful and strong.

02:04She changed my life.

02:06Thanks.

02:07One of my babies.

02:08I am.

02:09I never had a boring life.

02:13A lot of struggles.

02:16But if you survive them, you're stronger.
