BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Sarah Doukas

Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Model Agency, joins Kirsty Young.

Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Model Agency, joins Kirsty Young to choose her Desert Island Discs.

Kirsty Young's castaway is the founder of Storm model agency, Sarah Doukas. 

She has never, she says, had a normal career - after running away from school, she ran bric-a-brac stalls in London and Paris and then lived in America before returning to Britain. She enjoyed a stint as a model herself (her speciality, at only five feet two inches tall, was perching on car bonnets so they seemed bigger in advertising pictures). But she discovered she had a knack for spotting future talent and is best known for finding a 14 year old Kate Moss and turning her into an international star. "I'm a terrible old rocker" she says, "I always knew my life would be unconventional." 

Producer: Leanne Buckle

Record: Mercy Mercy Me by Marvin Gaye
Book: The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin 
Luxury: A photo album of all my family.
