The kidnap victim looks happy, healthy in People magazine spread
Less than two months after the kidnap victim was reunited with her family after 18 years, the California mother of two smiles on the cover of People magazine. Oct. 14: People magazine’s Larry Hackett reveals a recent photo of Jaycee Dugard, the California woman who was kidnapped and held hostage for 18 years. She also wrote a statement for the magazine. Oct . 14, 2009
The hair is darker, bordering on brown, but Jaycee Dugard’s clear blue eyes still sparkle in a face lit by a brilliant smile. Looking out from the cover of People magazine, the young woman who was kidnapped at the age of 11 appears to be 10 years younger than her 29 years.
“I’m so happy to be back,” reads the headline on the cover of the Oct. 26 issue, which hits newsstands this Friday. The cover photo of Jaycee, the first since she was rescued on Aug. 26, can be viewed now on People.com.
People first wrote about Jaycee in November 1991, five months after she was kidnapped outside her home in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., allegedly by convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy. The Garridos were taken into custody after a campus cop at University of California at Berkeley thought something was suspicious about the man who was seeking a permit to hold a religious meeting on campus.

Anything that knocks the Obamas off the cover has to be newsworthy.
She’s pretty.
She looks like a pretty young lady - hopefully the horrfic experiences she lived will not completely dominate the rest of her life.
I wonder why she is letting herself be used like this.
She’s being compensated. Probably very handsomely. Given the job prospects of somebody living in near-captivity for all of those years, I don’t blame her.

Schulte said Dugard provided the photos to People because she wanted to “lift the veil and acknowledge that she is doing well. She wants to thank everyone for their support and best wishes and to let people see that this is her.”
She looks great. Hope she can take control of her life and make it what she wants.
Hmmm - very interesting. The image turned out pretty far off from reality. She retained the cheekbones of her youth. Thank you for posting that!
Your point is well-taken. She should probably write a book as quickly as possible. I guess I just see “People” and want to wretch.
She looks like Winnie in The Wonder Years.
