Dr. Pepper Girl (1960)
Donna Loren became one of the most famous vocalists in history, but she got her career started as a model. Pepsi picked her up and offered her an opportunity to sing while promoting their product for a measly $500.
What a Rip Off!
Even though she accepted the $500 from Pepsi and did their corporate bidding, Loren never forgot about the way they treated her. Through her career, Loren used this experience with Pepsi as a milestone to understand when she was getting taken advantage of. She ignored all roles that she thought weren't fairly paid, and that shaped the rest of her career.
