Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
An incognito Maria Frost wearing a short dark wig giving us a flash, whilst enjoying the sun! An original From Terry Sparks, I wouldn’t have known it was Maria, if not for the fact Terry had told me and that she wears that chain and cross in a fair few images I have seen. She also tends to like her wigs in the shots I’ve seen. Brilliant shot from Terry and is that a string vest I see, because that’s definitely the way to wear one if it is!
Until last week I think I only had one image of Maria Frost and then Terry sent me one of his originals (coming soon!), closely followed by me finding the above shot. This shot again appears on P267 of the ‘1950’s Glamour Book’ which seems to be predominately work by Russell Gay, so this could be a Terry shot as well? Having now dug around for other shots of Maria, two things stand out. One, she likes her wigs, as she almost always seems to be wearing one in the shots I’ve seen and two, she wears the chain and cross in many as well, so obviously a good little church going girl! Although if you manage to see her appearance in the 1970 Harrison Marks film ‘A Hit For Two Miss’s’ appearing with Angela Duncan, she doesn’t look so innocent to me! She also appears in a second GHM film, also in 1970 called ‘Scouts Honour’
Another shot of June posing on the Roman set as she bathes in a sunken bath full of bubbles. Taken by Harrison Marks, similar shots to this appeared in one of the specials dedicated to June by GHM titled ‘The Fabulous June Palmer’, but the set and appearance of June was originally for the 1966 film ‘The Naked World of Harrison Marks’.
Jennifer Garland showing off her fancy tights and tits with very pronounced nipples by Harrison Marks. My god she had a lot of freckles all over her and I’m pretty convinced that was a wig she was wearing for this and a similar set of her posing on a bed. Nice to see the sheepskin rug again!
Angela Duncan as Trudi Pink (Trudy Scott) giving us a flash of her stocking tops and big tits as she poses at the piano. She can tickle my ivories any time, looking like that!
Another shot of June on the Roman set posing in the bath from the Kamera Special ‘The Fabulous June Palmer‘ (1964). This shot gives us more of a profile shot of June’s naked body including her magnificent bum.
The second shot of Franni Leigh (not her real name!) by Terry Sparks taken in 1972 for Club International by Paul Raymond. This shot is very progressive for it’s time, as it shows that things were becoming more ‘open’ in the 1970’s. Not only were shots becoming less subtle, they were also less censored with full on pubic hair shots that even showed the labia, such as above. I’m not saying shots like this weren’t taken before, but now they were being published with more on show and less imagination needed!
Thanks to Terry for this very colourful and open shot!
June posing in the bath on the Roman Set as a ‘Dream Goddess’ or Cleopatra? This is a still from the Harrison Marks glamour film ‘Dream Goddess’. This image of her on the set along with others appears in the Kamera Special dedicated to June titled ‘The Fabulous June Palmer’ (1964), with the accompanying film also being released in 1964/65.
Another different model this morning from Terry and this is Franni Leigh (not her real name!). According to Terry she was originally a successful fashion model and this was one of the few times she did nude modelling. This shot and another I have were taken in 1972, with similar shots by Terry used in Club International by Paul Raymond. Franni appeared across several pages of the 4th edition of Club International in April 1972, including a double page spread (boom boom!) as centrefold of the month. Unfortunately Terry only sent me the 3 shots he has remaining. The fact that this was the early 1970’s and a Paul Raymond publication means we start to see a lot more of Franni than normal, including pubic hair and more, which you will see in a further shot to come!
As I’d not come across Franni before, so I did a search and found that there is very little of her out there on the web, but she did appear on the cover and inside pages of Parade (14th & 21st October, 1972). Those pictures show Franni posing on a beach and I believe those were also taken by Terry down at Pegwell Bay in Kent, as the third shot I have is of her posing in the sea at that location. So were they taken at the same time as those of Bobby Sparrow ?
A couple of original shots of this model, but I have no idea who she is? She appears in the May page of the 1969 Kamera Calendar, but I’ve not seen any images of her in Kamera yet, but if they were later editions I have a big gap there, so may not have seen her yet in them.
Both of these shots appear to have been taken in GHM’s flat as does the calendar shot, so maybe all taken in one session? I’d wager she’s also wearing a wig, which doesn’t help identification and the familiar long negligee worn by Monique Devereux and other makes an appearance!
Thanks to Kevin for sending over these shots.
