Mary Collinson (1952 – 2021)

 

Sad to hear today that the beautiful Mary Collinson, the of the Collinson twins, has died. Apart from her iconic status as a Hammer actress, she was chosen as Playboy magazine’s Playmate of the Month in October 1970, together with her sister Madeleine. They were the first identical twin Playmate sisters.

Prior to their appearance in Playboy, one of the first people to use them was the glamour photographer Harrison Marks, who cast them as saucy maids in his short film Halfway Inn. The film, made for the 8 mm market, was shot sometime around July 1970, when a still from the film was used in a Marks’ advert that ran in that month’s issue of Continental Film Review magazine.

Above is a stunning shot of Mary also by Harrison Marks and shows off her fabulous figure perfectly.

Madeleine Collinson (1952 – 2014)

A bit late, but got an email from friend of the site Ozprof that told me about the passing of Madeleine Collinson.
A voluptuous brunette Madeleine Collinson was born on July 22, 1952 in Malta. She’s the identical twin sister of Mary Collinson and they first arrived in Britain in April, 1969 and the duo were cast as saucy maids in Harrison Marks 8mm short “Halfway Inn.” Mary and Madeleine went on to be Playmates of the Month in the October, 1970 issue of “Playboy” and have the distinction of being the first pair of identical twin sisters to do a nude pictorial for “Playboy”. Following their modelling career the sisters acted in a handful of movies together; including the Hammer vampire horror outing “Twins of Evil.” Madeleine lived in Malta with her husband and three children. She died at age 62 on August 14, 2014 – RIP
