I have thousands of June Palmer photos from the 1950s to the 70s, including early Spick & Span images and those by Harrison Marks and Arthur Howell. Less common are her 1980s photos, just before she stopped modelling. Luckily, some exist, and below is the last professionally posed photo of June Palmer.
This was the last image on the last film shot on 23rd November 1987 at a studio in Chelmsford around 1 pm. It was taken by John W., who had previously provided original June content for this site, and took the shot himself. John started photographing June at Arthur Howell’s Strobe Studios in South London, which were advertised in the Amateur Photographer. He also hired June for private sessions, which cost £40 for 2 hours, and continued to work with her after Strobe closed. After taking the last shot in Chelmsford, June mentioned she was going on holiday to the Bahamas and would show him her tan when she returned. She later wrote to him about getting married again and giving up modelling, making this the last professionally shot photo of June Palmer.

Yes, jstevo48, poignancy is right. I received a facsimile signature on a photo of June the week she died. She was truly beautiful and, whether because of my age or my inclination, I prefer her mature figure to the younger version, lovely though that was. We tend to think of these goddesses as immortal; but they are human. Bless her.
£20 an hour for June Palmer? I am a painter, and I pay my life models that. I suppose that this means that June was a professional, not a celebrity.
