Liza Martelle

Liza Martelle (Dawn Grayson) – We know GHM had a propensity to give his models aliases when they modelled in wigs, such as Rita Landre (Pam Green) and Mary Stephan (Caroline Coon). What I didn’t know is that Dawn Grayson had one as well when modelling in the blonde wig above! Apparently she was known as Liza Martelle, a beautiful strip artist from the crazy horse in Paris.

GHM revealed this in an interview for Fiesta magazine in 1976 called ‘ Harrison Marks Rides Again!’.  He also said that she was in London for an appearance and due to his sheer charm and youthful sex appeal he was lucky enough to get her before his camera … and other places! 

Well I never! That’s the first time I have come across Liza Martelle and a photo similar to the one above appears with those comments.  So, unless there is another Liza Martelle or the photo was wrong, then it’s Dawn Grayson :)

Marie Provost – Knew I'd Seen Her Somewhere Before!

I knew I’d seen the model going by the name of Marie Provost before and I came across them today when looking for a specific Frankie Young image. These are from Kamera No.56 and prove it’s not Elaine Desmond.

 

 

 

So she now appears in this article and Kamera No.56 & 61, although it was probably only one photo shoot that produced the images for both Kamera issues and cover dates put both at 1964.

Annette Johnson – She Walks in Beauty

Four shots of Annette Johnson from She Walks in Beauty, with at least two or three of the shots located at Ewhurst within the grounds.  Not quite sure what’s going on with the shot by the window and the bowl of fruit in the front of the shot!

Kamera Special No.4 & No.5 Covers


The cover of Kamera Special No.4 featuring Elaine Desmond perched precariously on some mussel cover rocks!


The cover of Kamera Special No.5 featuring a much happier Jutka Goz as she didn’t have to balance on some dodgy rocks for this shot :)
