Toukie Smith has died at 74
Model and actress Doris “Toukie” Smith has died at 74, WWD reports; Willi Smith’s runway shows made her name in the 1970s and 1980s.
Willi Smith’s shows helped her modeling career take off during the 1970s and 1980s, according to WWD. She also walked in Patrick Kelly’s fall 1989 show.
WWD reports that her acting credits included the sitcom “227”, in which she appeared from 1989 to 1990. In 1987, following her brother’s death, she also worked to have Feb. 23 recognised in New York as Willi Smith Day.
