Quote:
The 49-year-old "Ms. [Mary] Clarke scouted her own husband in 1997, when
Jeff Clarke was employed at a Structure men's clothing store. (Mr. Clarke,
now 37, worked as a model briefly before marrying Ms. Clarke and becoming
her business partner.)
"The typical runway model is about 5'10" with 34" hips.
"The Clarkes don't charge for their services, but if their protégés get
signed with a big agency, Mother Model Management receives about half of the
customary 20% cut of a model's earnings that the agency takes.
"Not every model has a mother agent. At Next, for example, less than 50% of
the models were 'discovered' by an independent scout, Ms. [Faith] Kates[,
owner of Next Model Management] says. * * * In these cases, the agencies
get to keep their full commission, instead of splitting it with the mother
agency.
