Renowned supermodel and “Dallas” actress Annabel Schofield has passed away at 62, following a courageous battle with cancer.
Schofield, celebrated for gracing the covers of Vogue and leading campaigns for iconic brands like Yves Saint Laurent, succumbed to the disease on February 28 in Los Angeles, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In a candid GoFundMe update, she shared that she discovered her cancer had metastasized to her brain back in July, during her three-year struggle with the illness.
Throughout her illustrious career, the Welsh-born beauty was the face of advertisements for well-known brands including Rimmel, Revlon, and Boots No.7.
She gained significant fame from a memorable Bugle Boy Jeans television ad, where she famously asked, “Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?” while cruising in a black Ferrari across the desert.
Schofield moved to Los Angeles and played Laurel Ellis in “Dallas,” appearing in 12 episodes of the beloved series in 1988, according to her IMDB.
She also appeared in “Dragonard,” “Solar Crisis” and “Eye of the Widow” and in an episode of “Dangerous Curves” in 1992.
Schofield also turned her hand to production as she was part of the team for the movies “The Brothers Grimm,” “Doom” and “City of Ember,” according to her IMDB.
Away from the movie set, she documented her cancer battle with a series of posts on GoFundMe.
Her last post was on Jan. 18, where she told her fans she had surgery removing a large mass in her nasal cavity.
She said she was feeling “pretty wobbly and weak” but was relieved she could breathe through her nose.
Melissa Richardson, the owner of the Take Two Agency — the firm that represented Schofield early in her career — has led the tributes.
“She never changed from the sweet little 17-year-old Welsh girl I first met,” she said.
“She was directly loyal, caring, and above all, a raging beauty. She knew her craft. She was the best.”
