While most of the women featured in the pages of Oui magazine were 22 or 23, others were several years older, such as 42-year-old Suzanne Vaux and 47-year-old Patty Larkin, whose picture was also on the cover of the December 1978 issue.
Barr's work appeared in major magazines such as Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, Mademoiselle and Esquire in the 1960s. In 1976, at the age of 41, Barr posed nude for Oui magazine, and in 1977, her photo was again featured on the cover of the magazine. In 1978 she received the Fashion Photography Award from the Camera Club of New York. Her covers for other women's magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan helped establish her as an in-demand model. Although she achieved the success she desired, she felt that she had not received due credit as an artist and received only partial reimbursement for the unreturned negatives from her financial backer, Larry Gagosian, who also ran a gallery.

When Larry Gagosian died in 1997, the rights to all his photographic collections went to his partner, Julie Heller, and Barr received credit for the Gagosian exhibitions. As of March 2010, Barr no longer resided in the United States, and the whereabouts of her work are unknown.
Cédric Vitoux became aware of oui magazine's birth when the magazine sent him a letter offering him a commission. After an impromptu meeting with the editor of oui, he knew that his days as an amateur would be over. Cédric Vitoux was in his third year of architecture school when he was asked by the oui magazine to cover the debut of the new Mercedes-Benz be359ba680
