Annette Johnson – The Coal Miners Daughter
I’ve been very remiss with publishing some models and Annette Johnson is one of them, so I’ll set things straight with this lovely shot of Miss Johnson.
Annette became one of GHM’s regular models and was a coal miner’s daughter from Lancashire. Her career started very similar to many models in 1960’s when she started posing with local camera clubs and was posing by age 16 upstairs for the owner of the local shoe store in which she was working, her blond hair was real and so was everything else..
By 1970/71 she had apparently finished nude work for good, a short career compared to others. She was to reappear in the 1980’s working for Knave magazine as an agony aunt and posing with a more rounded and mature figure and unafraid to show more of herself than in the past.
She worked professionally under at least three other names, including Annette Scotson, Karen Fraser and Annette Bristow to name a few. A lovely lady by all accounts and one that loved her pets, both cats and dogs.

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 :)
