Former Parisian model and beachwear designer from Los Angeles Jill Dodd was also a pleasure wife to one of the world's richest men in the 1980s: Adnan Khashoggi, the billionaire Middle Eastern arms dealer - a womanizer with three wives and 11 pleasure wives at his beck and call.
Several inches shorter and twice her age, he reminded Jill of her friend's father. Jill appeared in Paris Vogue, Marie Claire, French Cosmopolitan, Olympe, American Glamour, Bazaar, Mademoiselle, and Teen among other glossy magazines.
She made a very successful transition from model to fashion designer as the founder and designer of global fashion surfing and sports brand ROXY, which she started under the umbrella of Quicksilver.
Jill talks to Lynn Freeman about her years modelling in Paris and with Khashoggi in the early 80s, which she has written about in a new book called The Currency of Love.
