Two more film strips from the black and white version of the glamour film ‘Castaway’ sent by John W. The first shows a close-up of a topless June, the second June of June sat on a towel rubbing suntan lotion all over herself.
What I’ve also noticed having looked at these and the colour version of ‘Castaway’ that these stills were also taken at the same time as June has the same jeans on!
One of my own original negatives of June from the set of her sunbathing nude on a lilo/inflatable mattress on a patio. A different set of shots and you can see various items in the background, such as oil and a familiar towel. June looks very bronzed in this shot and that’s obviously how she never had any white bits, but my god doesn’t her body and curves look good glistening with oil.
I do have 5 other shots from this set, but not from original negatives, so not as good quality but will dig them out and publish them at some point.

Molly Peters looking great outdoors in just a pair of tight slacks as she poses topless underneath an arbour from the pages of the 1960’s Glamour Book. Location could be anywhere, but I’d bet at it being one of two locations, Ewhurst or Walden can’t go wrong with that!
A shot of the Latin lolita ‘Thelma’ from Kamera No.4 (1957), but looks can be deceptive and who’s to say she didn’t come from London either a bit like Julie (Shearing). Regardless of where she originally came from at least I have a few more shots of this beauty and a cracking side shot of her this one is, love the uplifting boob and dark nipple on view!
What fantastic hips and curves on the figure of Yamille taken by Harrison Marks from Kamera No.48 (1962). There isn’t much known about this dusky Latin looking model and she only did one shoot for GHM, with those photo’s appearing inside Kamera No.48 & No.53. She was also featured in the 1963 Kamera Calendar and she appears in one set of 35mm colour slides (Set No.17)
I came across this unusual magazine cover featuring June Palmer over on a friends (littlebunnysunshine) Tumblr and thought I’d share it here. I’m not sure when this was published as my Japanese is a little rusty, but there’s also a reference to James Bond, so could have been in the 1960’s or 70’s or even more recent. Even so it’s a great shot of June on the cover in little pink baby doll.
Harrison Marks did three photo shoots with Rusty and published 37 photographs of her across Kamera No.50 (1962), No.51, No.53 and, 55 including the above front cover and eleven other pages. Shots of her also appeared in No’s 59, 63 & 74 and the large format hardback book ‘She Walks in Beauty’.
Rusty was originally a stripper from Soho and her full story ‘Rusty Gaynor: The Vice Queen’ can be found over on the Official Pamela Green site.
Two more shots of an older June posing at her home with Arthur Howell in 1987 and taken by Itsgardin. The rest of these shots that I’ve published so far can be found here, but these two are great semi candid shots with the last one showing June enjoying a tipple of white wine. The glass looks empty to me, so she either downed it or it wasn’t full when the shot was taken.
Thanks to Itsgardin for these two great shots.
I found another shot of Jackie Parker in Kamera, this time in Kamera No.55 (1963), but from the same shoot as the others that appear in Kamera No.40. A familiar background used for other shoots such as Pamela Green, but great to see Jackie showing off her great assets (and pigtails) in Kamera.
A great shot of Caroline Coon from the 1970’s that appeared in Fiesta and was taken by Terry Sparks, which also had an accompanying little story from Terry about Caroline and her friend, which will make the above title a little clearer. Story from Terry below:
Also enclosed is one of my shots of Caroline Coon scanned from a page in Fiesta. I worked with her several times and I got to know her quite well and one day she brought her flatmate in to see me, an American girl called Marsha Hunt. Marsha was desperate for money and so I did a stills session with her and also an 8mm Glamour film shot at Ewhurst. She was very difficult to work with, full of her own importance and not really wanting to be photographed but needed the cash. A few weeks later she landed a part in the original London stage production of Hair and then later she met Mick Jagger and they had a child called Karis. I knew Mick Jagger vaguely as we both attended the same Grammar School, although he was a few years behind me. As far as I know, none of my pics of Marsha were ever published, I have a suspicion she may have done a deal with Russell Gay after landing her part in Hair, but I am only guessing.
I just love these little stories that come from Terry with his pictures as they give us a snapshot of things back then. Terry calls them bits of useless information, but I disagree :)
