Korte biografie
Maxime de la Falaise was born Maxine Birley. In 1946 she married the French aristocrat Comte Alain de la Falaise and adopted the first name "Maxime." Her second husband was the art historian and curator John J. McKendry. Maxime was a noted fashion model during the 1950s and worked with the couturier Elsa Schiaparelli and later Yves Saint Laurent. She published two cookbooks, Seven Centuries of English Cooking: A Collection of Recipes (1973), and Food in Vogue (1980) with her own illustrations.
