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

@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.

E.g., searching on "Ford Model agency": https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1312&_nkw=Ford+model+agency&_sacat=0

That's the one Seller's current "Ask" price. Model agency books are only infrequently offered for sale on eBay, so my recommendation would be to keep the Search keywords in your eBay "Saved Searches", and wait for future opportunities at lower prices. Another issue is that Shipping costs can be a significant item, which would make sellers within your continent as more attractive.

Redbook's "Be Beautiful" (USA; Summer 1978): Reminds me of Susan Kelbe ('Teen cover; January 1976), although I don't know if she became a model.

Female model #2: Yes, Kelly LeBrock. Female model #3: Lisa Taylor.

The Mitt Livs Novell Sweden 3. April 1984 #14 cover is younger sister Mariel Hemingway (Name on cover).

Is this Hugrun "Huggy" Ragnarsson, or a different "Huggy"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huggy_Ragnarsson

Thanks, I've added "Casa Mia Vintage" to my YouTube channel "Subscriptions"!

Now Shari Shattuck is best known for her prolific acting career (1982-2015), especially in "The Young and the Restless" as Ashley Abbott (1996-1999). I remember her best in the Babylon 5 ("Voices of Authority"; 3.5) episode as the political officer who tried to seduce an evasive Captain John Sheridan (Cmdr Susan Ivanova: "Good luck, Captain. I think you're about to go where... everyone has gone before."). https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0789449/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Victoria's Secret Brand CEO Abruptly Resigns (January 3, 2023) Excerpts from the CNN article: https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/03/business/victorias-secret-ceo-amy-hauk Victoria’s Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk has resigned less than a year into the job, the company said Tuesday. Hauk, who was also CEO of the company’s Pink apparel brand, notified the company of her resignation last week, the company said. She will leave Victoria’s Secret in March. Martin Waters, the CEO of the brand’s parent company, Victoria’s Secret & Co., will take over as CEO of the brand. Shares of Victoria’s Secret dropped 8% on the news during after-hours trading Tuesday. ....The company also bought Adore Me, an upstart rival, for $400 million. That deal closed last week. But Victoria’s Secret sales have been uneven since the start of the pandemic. Sales tumbled in 2020 during the peak of Covid-19 but bounced back in 2021. They are projected to fall by up to 7% this year.
