Maxime Le Bailly, comtesse de La Falaise (25 June 1922 – 30 April 2009),[1][2] was an English-Irish 1950s model,[3] and, in the 1960s, an underground movie actress.

[12] She changed her first name to Maxime after her first marriage, to French aristocrat Alain Le Bailly de La Falaise, in 1946.

[15][6] In the 1950s, Maxime de La Falaise worked for Elsa Schiaparelli as a vendeuse mondaine which she explained as "a sort of muse who was supposed to encourage sales to the rich English".

[6] According to the New York Times in 1977, Warhol had La Falaise design a menu for Andymat, Warhol's version of the automat, which included onion tarts, shepherds' pie, fish cakes, Irish lamb stew, key lime pie and a "nursery cocktail" of milk on the rocks.

[6] They had two children: Maxime de La Falaise married, as her second husband, John McKendry, curator of prints and photography at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who died in 1975.

During the marriage it has been suggested that he had an affair with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe,[22][failed verification] while she had one with J. Paul Getty III, artist Max Ernst, and film director Louis Malle.
