Annabel Schofield who went from being a defining face of 1980s London fashion to playing Laurel Ellis opposite Larry Hagman on the Dallas primetime soap has died at the age of 62.

Schofield died Saturday in Los Angeles following a battle with cancer designer-model Catalina Guirado announced.

The Welsh-born model became a fixture on the hip and glamorous 1980s fashion scene in London.

She would spent less time in Paris and Milan where runways were dominated by more established haute couture designers.

“I honestly think London [is best] as far as cutting edge style, due to the New Romantics, the tail end of punk, Vivienne Westood, Katherine Hamnett, Body Map [and] Buffalo style, which was created by Ray Petrie and all the resulting street styles,” Schofield said in a 2012 interview for the Mirror80 website.

At the time she was represented by London’s Take Two Agency and appeared on hundreds of fashion magazine covers.

Her face was seen in major designer and brand campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Rimmel, Revlon and Boots No. 7.

She gained international recognition for an appearance in a Bugle Boy Jeans TV commercial in which Schofield delivered the line “Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?”

Melissa Richardson former owner of London’s Take Two Agency in a statement said of Schofield: “She was one of David Bailey’s favorites and appeared in countless shoots for Italian Vogue. She was the forerunner of Take Two — without her, we could never have made it as we did. We loved her because she was funny and real and beautiful and down to earth. She never changed from the sweet little 17-year-old Welsh girl I first met. She was directly loyal, caring and above all a raging beauty. She knew her craft. She was the best.”

Her film résumé included Solar Crisis, opposite Charlton Heston, Dragonard and Eye of the Widow.

Schofield wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Cherry Alignment inspired by her life as a 1980s actress and model.

Schofield was predeceased by her father and her sister, Amanda, and is survived by her mother.
