The author

Margot Dorée

---

Margot Dorée has spent her life among performers, beautiful clothes and powerful cars. Born in Poland as Małgorzata, she worked on the stages and runways of Europe, co-hosted an extreme-sports show on Canal+, and appeared under the name Małgorzata Zasztowt in Wiedźmin (The Hexer), the 2001 Polish film adaptation of The Witcher.

A dress designer and personal stylist, she has spent more than two decades creating her own pieces and helping women find confidence through style. She is also a devoted American muscle-car enthusiast who has owned many Corvette models over the decades. Her favorite is a red C6 convertible, the Corvette she was married in.

Her novels follow the women whose lives became entwined with automotive history. The Woman on the Bonnet tells the story of Eleanor Thornton and the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy. In First Lady of Corvette, Margot brings to life the love of Elfi and Zora Arkus-Duntov, a love that helped shape an American legend. She is also the author of the style memoir Parisian Chic, Island Soul.

A mother and stepmother to seven children and grandmother to eight, Margot lives on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, with her husband, their son and two Australian shepherds.

Her books are published by North Star Publishing Group, Hilton Head Island.
