IMO, I don't see why you'd want to see a small early role for Alison Doody in what is considered by most viewers to be among the three worst James Bond movies ("A View To a Kill"; 1985) Larger and more memorable roles for the blonde beauty were: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Major League II (1994) Temptation (1994) King Solomon's Mines (2004).

Martha Longley
Martha Longley sizzled in the TV-movie "California Girls" (1985)! Unfortunately, on YT there's only a Spanish-dubbed version "Las Chicas de California" (1985), without English-subtitles (however, the background songs are in English): Most of the screenshots above are from: 1) Morning workout in purple leotard: 38:48. 2) Montage to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" (1966; Beach Boys): 52:38. Ironically in the film, Martha Longley plays the femme fatale whereas Tawny Kitaen (in a small early role) is the girl almost-next-door in the closing scene as well as the friendly diner waitress earlier in the movie.

And apart from the hard-to-find model agencies' books, I can recommend the easy-to-find "The Ford Models' Crash Course in Looking Great" (1985) by Eileen Ford. Hardcover, approx 250 pages, with all of the models attributed. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=Ford+Models+Crash+Eileen+Ford&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=Ford+Models+Eileen+Ford&_osacat=0

Model comp cards
@RocketQueenThank you for posting these Model comp cards! It's always interesting glancing thru these and seeing which then-unknowns became not only breakout stars, but maintained a long-running career in the notoriously "disposable" entertainment industry (e.g., Alexandra Paul; Demi Moore, etc.), without flaming out (e.g., Gia Carangi). With a little pride, I remember watching the televised 1985 Elite "Look of the Year" contest and picking the winner (Frederique van der Wal) on the opening introductions, and doing the same for the 1986 Ford Models "Supermodel of the Year" contest (Monika Schnarre). Unlike pageants where one has to wait till the end to see if their leading candidate bombs the interview question, a top model may just have that "It" factor.
