  1. Indeed, even the top models in the 1970s-1980s were paid scale for magazine covers -- the covers primarily padded their portfolio book and enabled their agencies to leverage a higher hourly fee quote. But catalogs work provided steady, good money even for big-name models such as Carol Alt, Joan Severance, etc. And Catalogs work could be counted on a better working environment in the 1970s-1980s, than say, the more glamorous runway world: * Less pressure; preparation chaos. * Some were appalled at the quantity of cocaine, smoking, late-night partying, diet pills (and pressure to use) among fellow models, designers, photographers, and others in the industry. * Sexual harassment was commonplace.

  16. 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).

    The 2023 Ava Gardner Festival is scheduled for the weekend of October 6-8, 2023, at the Ava Gardner Museum (Smithfield, NC) located just off I-95, Exit 95. Ava Gardner Museum (https://www.johnstoncountync.org/ava-gardner/ ) Monday-Friday: 9:30am - 4:30pm Saturday: 9:00am - 5:00pm Sunday: 2:00pm - 5:00pm I'd visited the Ava Gardner Museum in March 2022.
  18. Capricho (1980): Looks like Sloane Condren. https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/88523-sloane-condren/page/2/
  19. 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.
