38	Bill	Higgins	m	At age 19, Hill moved to New York where she worked as a model for the John Robert Powers Agency. In the late 1940s, Hill moved to Paris to continue her modeling career, becoming "a top-flight model" for Edward Molyneux and other designers. There, she modeled what she recalled was "the first collection of American clothes" in Paris. During the 1940s and 1950s, Hill was featured on the covers or in the layouts of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, LIFE, and Elle. She modeled throughout her twenties and occasionally modeled for photographer and close friend Diane Arbus before withdrawing from fashion to retire to the French countryside.While living in a small house in France, Hill wrote a memoir, The Pit and the Century Plant, and her first novel, The Nine Mile Circle. The Pit and the Century Plant, an account of her experience in the French countryside, was praised for its evocative reflections and "vivid appreciation" of life among the French people. In this memoir, Hill recounts her experiences with "the hardships of country living," forming a relationship with her neighbor across the road, and her dealings with nature. The Nine Mile Circle received both positive and mixed reviews, celebrated for its "charming style" but criticized for its familiar content. One reviewer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch praised The Nine Mile Circle for its intimate look into the lives of its characters, saying, "You finish The Nine Mile Circle feeling almost guilty at having witnessed so much that is private and personal in the lives of these people" and further calling her style "fresh and intriguing" while offering a swift criticism of the novel's lack of form. Several reviewers favorably compared Hill to William Faulkner for her depth of insight into her characters. Harper's Bazaar published an excerpt of The Nine Mile Circle entitled "Jetty's Black Rage" in their April 1956 issue. While modeling in New York in the 1940s, Hill began writing for Mademoiselle and Seventeen. In Paris, Hill contributed six short stories and an essay entitled "Cats" to The Paris Review in addition to an interview with Truman Capote. Her final contribution was published in Spring 1981. Through the early 1970s, Hill was granted and attended multiple residencies at the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo to work on her writing.	Hill was born Patricia Louise Guion Hill in Ashland, Kentucky in 1921. She moved to Charlottesville, Virginia with her mother at age eight. In her late teens, Hill attended George Washington University before moving to New York. Throughout her life, she moved between France and the United States before finally settling in Sens, Yonne, France in the 1990s. Beginning in 1956, she lived for several decades in Stonington, Connecticut. For several years in the late 1980s, Hill owned an antiques shop in Mystic, Connecticut. On the subject of marriage, Hill was recorded saying, "it was invented by the Devil—in the guise of a man." She was married three times throughout her life. Her first marriage lasted approximately nine months. In the 1940s, Hill married her second husband, Robert Meservey, a skier for the Dartmouth Ski Team, in what was called "a wedding-on-skis." Hill and Meservey skied to the church while Hill carried a bouquet of evergreen branches. Hill's marriage to Meservey was featured in a photo spread in LIFE. In 1960 after her two previous marriages, Hill married French gallerist Paul Bianchini, known for bringing attention to postwar artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg. In 1962, Hill gave birth to a daughter, Paola. Hill was widowed in 2000 when Bianchini died of cancer. Hill died in her home in Sens, France on September 19, 2014.	higgins was born patricia louise guion higgins in ashland, kentucky in 1921. he moved to charlottesville, virginia with his mother at age eight. in his late teens, higgins attended george washington university before moving to new york. throughout his life, he moved between france and the united states before finally settling in sens, yonne, france in the 1990s. beginning in 1956, he lived for several decades in stonington, connecticut. for several years in the late 1980s, higgins owned an antiques shop in mystic, connecticut. on the subject of marriage, higgins was recorded saying, "it was invented by the devil—in the guise of a man." he was married three times throughout his life. his first marriage lasted approximately nine months. in the 1940s, higgins married his second husband, robert meservey, a skier for the dartmouth ski team, in what was called "a wedding-on-skis." higgins and meservey skied to the church while higgins carried a bouquet of evergreen branches. higgins's marriage to meservey was featured in a photo spread in life. in 1960 after his two previous marriages, higgins married french gallerist paul bianchini, known for bringing attention to postwar artists such as andy warhol, roy lichtenstein, and claes oldenburg. in 1962, higgins gave birth to a daughter, paola. higgins was widowed in 2000 when bianchini died of cancer. higgins died in his home in sens, france on september 19, 2014.at age 19, higgins moved to new york where he worked as a model for the john robert powers agency. in the late 1940s, higgins moved to paris to continue his modeling career, becoming "a top-flight model" for edward molyneux and other designers. there, he modeled what he recalled was "the first collection of american clothes" in paris. during the 1940s and 1950s, higgins was featured on the covers or in the layouts of magazines such as harper's bazaar, life, and elle. he modeled throughout his twenties and occasionally modeled for photographer and close friend diane arbus before withdrawing from fashion to retire to the french countryside.while living in a small house in france, higgins wrote a memoir, the pit and the century plant, and his first novel, the nine mile circle. the pit and the century plant, an account of his experience in the french countryside, was praised for its evocative reflections and "vivid appreciation" of life among the french people. in this memoir, higgins recounts his experiences with "the hardships of country living," forming a relationship with his neighbor across the road, and his dealings with nature. the nine mile circle received both positive and mixed reviews, celebrated for its "charming style" but criticized for its familiar content. one reviewer for the st. louis post-dispatch praised the nine mile circle for its intimate look into the lives of its characters, saying, "you finish the nine mile circle feeling almost guilty at having witnessed so much that is private and personal in the lives of these people" and further calling his style "fresh and intriguing" while offering a swift criticism of the novel's lack of form. several reviewers favorably compared higgins to william faulkner for his depth of insight into his characters. harper's bazaar published an excerpt of the nine mile circle entitled "jetty's black rage" in their april 1956 issue. while modeling in new york in the 1940s, higgins began writing for mademoiselle and seventeen. in paris, higgins contributed six short stories and an essay entitled "cats" to the paris review in addition to an interview with truman capote. his final contribution was published in spring 1981. through the early 1970s, higgins was granted and attended multiple residencies at the macdowell colony and yaddo to work on his writing.
