Lorraine Burnett – All Made Up! (1958)

A very glamorous and made up Lorraine Burnett from Kamera No.21 (1959). Seen here posing nude and with heavy make-up and kneeling on a very familiar towel/rug that I’ve seen in other early Harrison Marks shots. He definitely re-used his props!

Lorraine Loves Leopard Skin!

A younger Lorraine Burnett posing on the much loved and used leopard skin rug for Harrison Marks from the pages of Kamera Special No.1 (1959). She’s almost breaking out into a smile in this shot!

Erica Backstage (1959)

The unforgettable (well her figure anyway!) Erica posing backstage as a stage hand reads a paper! The guy must be blind or had bromide slipped in his cup of tea to be ignoring that view!

I also recently found an uncensored shot of Erica in another publication, so will have to scan and publish that soon ;)

Mary Deighan – A Quick Break Between Poses!

Mary Deighan having a quick smoke as she reads the paper in the side wings. Taken from Kamera Backstage (1959) It still seems strange seeing a photo of a model posing with a cigarette, but back then it was socially acceptable and no one knew the health issues smoking would cause!

Pat Davis Backstage

One of the few shots of Pat Davis from the pages of Kamera Backstage (1959). If memory serves me right she only appears in 3 shots including this one and the other two are silhouette or partial shots of her.

Kamera Backstage Billboard Flyer

I love this page at the front of Kamera Backstage that looks like a like a bill poster, along with the image of Mary Deighan having a smoke and reading the paper in the side wings pretending to relax. A lot of effort seems to have gone into the creation and production of this Kamera Special and it was my first introduction to Harrison Marks and Pamela Green, so very glad I have a copy now :)

Jean Spaul – Bill Poster Pose!

Jean Spaul posing against some bill posters for a shot for Kamera Backstage (1959). Looking very glamorous and made up in this shot with thick black eyelashes and perfect lipstick, very 1950’s!
