Joyce Ballantyne Brand, the artist who created the iconic image for Coppertone sun lotion of a mischievous puppy pulling down a little girl's bathing suit bottom, has died. She was 88.
Brand had a heart attack two weeks ago and died at home Monday, said her daughter, Cheri Brand Irwin.
Irwin was 3 years old in 1959 when her mother used her as the model for the Coppertone Girl. Brand was paid a $2,500 commission.
