More Marie Provost

After not being able to find anything on Marie Provost to start with I’ve now come across a further two images of her.

These two shots are definitely by GHM as they seem to be in the bedroom of his flat in Gerrard Street.  They are also very similar to those taken of Frankie Young in Kamera No.56, so puts them around 1964, so Kamera No.61?

The eyes and face on the top shot look very edited, but not by me I may add!

Breath in Monique!

Another original image, this time Monique Devereux against the backdrop of a brick wall!  I must admit that MD isn’t one of my favourite GHM models  she always looks like she’s ‘sucking everything in’ when being photographed and it just doesn’t look natural.  Saying that she appears the same in nearly all of her shots, so perhaps I’m doing her an injustice!

On a more trivia note, we know that Monique Devereux (Monique Leitzau) was the name given to her by GHM, but was he a fan of the TV western, Hotel de Paree (1959–1960) as one of the main characters played by Judi Meredith was Monique Deveraux! I’m never sure of the Devereux spelling with GHM, as seen it in all these versions Deveraux, Devereaux, Devereux and I’ve probably used all versions at different times!  Add Marie Deveraux into the mix and it justs get damn confusing!

Terry Peters

Terry Peters from Kamera No.50 (1963) at Ewhurst.  She also appeared in Kamera No.51, No.54 and No.80 as well as Solo No.31 and Kamera Specials No.3, 4 and No.5. Terry was not as used by GHM as other models and only seems to appear in a shoot at Ewhurst on her own and including Jayne Tracy, 1963 Cornwall shoot and stills from her only glamour film appearance ‘Terry Peters’.

Gerry Brown – Range No.5

Gerry (Geraldine) Brown on the cover and inside pages of Range Magazine No.5 which was published along with it’s sister magazine ‘Mentor’ in the late 1960’s.  Both magazines had the same format, semi coloured cover with black and white images inside.  This issue was nearly all dedicated to Gerry posing in the dungeon set and almost certainly photographed by GHM. Dotted throughout were other images, including Cindy Neal and Jayne Tracey.

Beautiful Side Profile of Unknown Blonde

I love this image! It comes from Kamera No.40 and this stunning blonde appears on pages 13 and 28, along with the intro page below.

Again she looks familiar, but can’t put a name to her and not going to try this time!  Does anyone recognise her?  Kamera No.40 was published in 1962 if that helps and I’ve looked on the official GHM website model data to no avail.

I’ll add it to the unknown models page for reference.

Ewhurst Uncovered – Part 2

Anyone that visits the pages of this blog regularly will know I’m fascinated with not only the images of GHM and others from the 1960’s, but also the background behind them.  One of my recurring themes has always been ‘Ewhurst Manor’, how it was used, but more specifically what the place looked like and the layout.

My original article about Ewhurst uncovered is here and looks at the location then and now, I followed that up with the Caper article and now I’ve found another in depth (well more images!) article!

This was published in Hi-Life magazine Vol.5 No.9 (August 1964) and included this Ann Austin article … here.

It reuses a lot of the imagery for the Caper article, but adds further insight into the layout, general frontage of the house and who used it.

Three great shots of Ewhurst and one of Mrs Clifford tending her garden and a view of the patio on the side of the main house.

A page of colour shots including Jayne Tracey and the photographers Ken Williams and she pops up again here, Doris Weems!  It looks like again most of this imagery was used in the caper magazine, but does show a few different shots of Doris shooting Jayne on the front doorstep and inside.

Angela Jones also makes an appearance in this article, again being photographed by Ken Williams at the cottage door and gardens, along with another unknown model.

Finally, more GHM making his film on the driveway and front lawn of Ewhurst, before tea is taken with a couple of models including Vivienne Warren.  The narrative on this part makes me laugh as it refers to GHM as the ‘Head cameraman of the crew’.  All the images for this article were taken by Ed Alexander, but he doesn’t actually appear as far as I can see.

So all in all another good article about Ewhurst, with some new views of the house I’ve not seen before and better quality images of Doris Weems.  All of which adds more information around Ewhurst, it’s layout and how it was used.

The more I read and find out about Ewhurst, the more I wish the place still stood as I’d be there like a shot to have a look round!

So, any more articles about Ewhurst out there?  Do let me know if any more exist and I’m a member of the Ewhurst group on Yahoo, so know what’s on there :)

Enjoy!
