Mary Doyle Keefe, who posed for Norman Rockwell as the model for his famous 1943 Rosie the Riveter painting, has died at 92. Keefe met Rockwell in Vermont while she was a 19-year-old phone operator and got paid $5 for two mornings of posing. He painted Keefe (who was petite) with the body of Michelangelo’s Isaiah, who is pictured on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Rosie came to symbolize millions of American women who took over domestic jobs during World War II.
