The gene pool may account for the bounty of beautiful women in Toronto, but it's Elmer Olsen who transforms girls into top models. Inside the champagne-soaked world of giddy teens, back-stabbing agents and an elusive sylph named Daria By Katrina Onstad
Outrageous Fortune
Raised among the cultural elite of Paris and London, he devoured museums and hobnobbed with the Stones. The price for such a privilege; a 40-year-old drug addiction and the loss of his mother to suicide. But through it all, he painted, garnering an enviable international reputation. The arrogant, irrepressible, immensely talented Tony Scherman By Alec Scott
Shadow Fortune
He was born in Iowa, but his goal is to make Toronto the richest, most vibrant city in North America. His technique: put dozens of heavy hitters in the same room and get them to pony up big ideas and big dollars. And it's working. Who the hell is David Pecaut and why does he love Toronto so much? By Judith Timson
