Daphne Selfe je mama treh otrok in babica. Z manekenstvom se ukvarja že od svojega 21. leta. Takrat je zmagala na enem od lokalnih lepotnih tekmovanj. V svoji bogati karieri je sodelovala na različnih projektih. Od modnih revij pa do raznovrstnih oglasov. Leta 1954 se je poročila s TV producentom Jimom Smithom. Zaradi starševstva je za dolgo časa prekinila svojo kariero. Kasneje je njen mož zbolel in Daphne je skrbela zanj do njegove smrti leta 1997. Pri 70. Letih pa se je znova podala v modne vode. Od takrat naprej ji kariera le še raste. Sodeluje z znanimi podjetji. V načrtu za prihodnost ima, da doživi vsaj 100 let. Prepričana je, da ima v življenju srečo in svoje veselje želi širiti tudi s preostalimi ljudmi.
