The Face That Changed It All is a revelatory and redemptive memoir from Johnson, and who after over five hundred magazine covers, remains one of the most successful glamour girls ever. A model, actress, and businesswoman, Johnson starred in the OWN reality show “Beverly’s Full House” in 2012 and was named one of the twentieth century’s most influential people in fashion by The New York Times.
