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!
The Man & His Muse
The man himself, Harrison Marks with Jennifer Garland from the opening page of Kamera Backstage (1959). There are numerous shots of the GHM taking photo’s of all the lovely models that worked for him, but I tended to focus on the models rather than GHM for some reason. This shot as he says himself in the editorial has him looking rather sinister, but it’s a good one and includes Jennifer, so why not!
Kamera Backstage – Act VI Three Stunning Blondes
I finally have a copy of Kamera Backstage thanks to Yak over on the official Pamela Green site who sent me a copy. I love this 64 page special produced by Harrison Marks in 1959 and this image is a fine example of why I love it so much!
The stunning figures of Pamela Green, Mary Deighan and Madeleine Mado, better known as Maria Hale without the long blonde wig. All tastefully posed and lit in the wings or side stage.
Mary Deighan
A beautifully restored image of Mary Deighan, probably part of the collection that appeared in the 96 page pocket book ‘Kamera Backstage’ in 1959.
Who Would Have Thought!
I started this blog in March 2013, so only 7 months ago and can’t quite believe the response it has had since then! It all started with me finding the image below of Pamela Green from Kamera Backstage, sending me on a journey to find out more about her and Harrison Marks and other models of that period.
Now 7 months on I’m hooked and love finding more images, information and anecdotes. What has amazed me is the number of other genuine fans out there and the new and unseen content they have provided.
I very much doubt this site would be as successful without the contribution from all of you in the form of comments, information about the models and the fantastic photo’s you are all sending through. I really do appreciate you sending me this content and allowing me to share it on this blog for others to enjoy as we do. So a big thank you to you all and please carry on making this site as exciting, fun to work on and the success it has become.
It’s a true pleasure!
