Mahogany (1975)
Tracy Chambers, ragazza di Chicago, lavora come segretaria, ma la sua aspirazione è di affermarsi come figurinista. Quando, perciò, un fotografo di moda, Sean, la chiama a Roma per impiegarla come "mannequin", Tracy lascia l'uomo che ama - un politico, Brian Walker, che si batte per migliorare le condizioni della gente di colore - e raggiunge la capitale italiana. Qui conquista finalmente il successo, dapprima come fotomodella e, poi, grazie all'interessato aiuto di un maturo industriale, anche come creatrice di moda. Ma il suo cuore è in America; dopo un ultimo, trionfale "defilée", Tracy abbandona tutto e torna a Chicago, per schierarsi accanto a Brian.
