Fluegel started modeling at 16 and moved to New York City at 18 to start her professional modeling career, saying it was “a quick way out of Binghamton" so she would “not ...be a burden” on her mother.
In 1971 Fluegel was hired as a model by Eileen Ford, initially earning $100 per hour and ended her modeling career in 1981 earning $300 per hour (equivalent to $894 in 2021). She was represented for 15 years by Ford Models and then with the Zoli Agency in New York while studying acting at Stella Adler. Fluegel said "I never wanted bimbo parts. When I was in New York, I figured I'd rather model than come to California and take those kind of parts".
Reflecting on her modeling career in 1986, Fluegel said “It hasn’t been easy. It is tough to get people in the acting world to take you seriously if you’ve been a successful model. Some models turn out to be good actresses; most are terrible". Her modeling mentor, Eileen Ford, said Fluegel's difference was “... she approached her acting scientifically. She worked at it and didn’t let the hype go to her head. A lot of models wouldn’t have done that".
Fluegel said “I realized I was washed up as a model at 25. I’d been in the business for years, and a lot of people thought I was even older than I was. I realized I had to make a drastic change in my life".
