Twinka is the daughter of the American painter, Wayne Thiebaud and his wife Patricia (née Patterson), wed in 1943.

Twinka Thiebaud (born December 9, 1945) is an American model who has posed for many of the most important photographers of the 20th century.

A photograph by Judy Dater depicting Thiebaud, Imogen and Twinka at Yosemite, is considered among the most iconic photos in art history, and was the first adult full-frontal nude photograph published in Life magazine.

Born in Los Angeles, California on December 9, 1945, Twinka was raised in Los Angeles, New York City, and Sacramento, California, where her father taught at the University of California, Davis.

1958

Upon her parents' divorce in 1958, she moved with her mother and sisters to Marin County, California, where she attended Redwood High School.

Her younger brother was the art dealer and gallerist Paul Thiebaud.

Seeking to become an actress, Twinka returned to Los Angeles from Marin.

For a number of years, she lived with the aging novelist Henry Miller in his Pacific Palisades home, acting as his cook and caretaker; a family friend of Miller, she was with him on the day he died.

Simultaneously, she worked as an artist's model, becoming a favorite of Robert Heinecken, Judy Dater, Mary Ellen Mark, Arnold Newman, Lucien Clergue, Eikoh Hosoe, Ralph Gibson, and Arthur Tress.

Many of the images taken of Twinka at this time are in international private collections and have been shown in galleries and museums around the world, for example, the Uffizi in Florence, Italy, and in New York's Museum of Modern Art.

She also posed for her father throughout her life.

1970

"Because of her work in the 1970s... and in particular because of that one photograph of Imogen and Twinka... Dater has secured herself a place in photographic history."

1970 Judy Dater, American, born 1941]

1973

Another photo of Thiebaud by Dater is included in The Woman's Eye (1973), a book devoted to women photographers, and also served as the cover image.

Another photo of Twinka by Dater is included in Anne Wilkes Tucker's compilation, The Woman's Eye (1973), a book devoted to women photographers, and also served as the cover image.

Reviewing it, Anemone Hartocollis of The Harvard Crimson wrote: "These aren't demurring women about to extend or accept an invitation, they confront you with their sexuality. Some are beautiful, yet that's not what attracts attention. These women are provocative because their individuality and intellectuality aren't stifled by unctuous idealization. The photographs are precisely detailed, untouched, and of theatrical intensity. One, called 'Twinka,' is confusing. A frail, attractive girl wearing a diaphanous dress crouches at the base of a gnarled redwood, one arm spanning her breast to clutch a low branch. But her uncanny expression could never be elicited or tolerated by a male photographer: her eyes bore straight out, wide and threatening."

1976

The issue of Life came out in 1976 as a Bicentennial Special Issue and was devoted to and called "Remarkable American Women 1776–1976".

1981

At home with Miller, Twinka discovered that he was a great talker, regaling his almost nightly guests with tales of his past and his work.
