Early life and career
She was born in Guildford and quit school at the age of 16 to work in London commuting from her home in Goring-by-Sea.[2] 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.[2] 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 celebrated photographer David Bailey.[2][3][4][5]
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 married to Joan Perry. Stone married Harvey in 1972, the marriage lasting only a year before his death, 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 (1981–2019).[6] They divorced in 1986.
Stone's fourth and final marriage 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. The character was renamed Sophie Wynn.
She lives in London.
