An Early Rita Landre?

I spotted this shot over on the tumblr of Honey-Rider (I love that name!) and I’m pretty certain it’s Pamela Green and may even be an early one of her as Rita Landre? I know it’s Pam by the mole just above her bikini line and the figure and face, whatever the wig are so recognisable. I’d put it at late 1950’s by Harrison Marks, but no idea if it was ever published anywhere as I’d not seen it before. Cracking shot though :)

Rita in Pigtails!

Possibly Pamela Green as Rita Landre, but a very early shot if it is and maybe not the normal red wig that was later associated with Rita Landre, but the look and make-up are similar for Rita. Taken from the pages of Kamera Special No.1 (1957) and a great pose and love the little bows all over the panties :)

Rita Landre – Redhead in White

If we’re talking redheads we must not forget one of my all time favourite redheads that wasn’t and that was Rita Landre, or as we all know now Pamela Green in red wig. This shot of Rita amongst the white fur by Harrison Marks comes from the Carnival Annual 1956 and looks to have come from the same set as her on the cover of Foto No.13, which then dates that magazine around the same time. I’m sure that looks like the top of her areola peeking out above the top of the fur?

Rita & The Red Ripped Skirt (Restored)

Another restored negative of Pamela Green as Rita Landre in this ‘Fisherman’s Wife’ Shoot, where she appears with the basket and wearing a ripped white top and red leather skirt. This is the third image I’ve restored from this set so far and have another 4 shots to come!

Rita Landre – Beach Babe! (Original)

An original of Pamela Green in an early shot of her as Rita Landre taken in 1954 by Harrison Marks. The red wig was purchased from wig creations and taken on location to St. Mary’s on the Scilly Isles in September of 1954. Pam wore the wig for the first time on the isles, which then later became synonymous with her Rita alter ego!

An original Image from a silver gelatin photograph by GHM with some slight editing.

Rita Landre in Pink Corset

Rita Landre (Pamela Green) by Harrison Marks and posing in pink corset. A fabulous shot and part of this set, which I only have two shots so far including this one. Restored from a very poor 35mm slide, but unfortunately the whites are still very blown out and you lose detail down her left side. Saying that I quite like it and all the white adds a certain quality to the shot.

She also wore a variation of this outfit with the same pink corset on the Parisian set and appeared in it for the 1960 (Nov) and 1961 (Jan) Kamera Calendars.

Rita Landre – The Fisherman's Wife

I had one image from this set already published here, but I now have another five images plus this one from the set. All have come from 35mm negatives and were in very poor condition and require a lot of TLC to get them to the quality of the one above.

I love this set of Rita (Pam) in short red leather skirt posing with a basket of fish, so I was really pleased to find the other shots. They were obviously published through-out Kamera at some point, but no idea when?

I’ll publish the other shots once I’ve restored them.
