I think you are the right person (or nick) to answer this question... Some Italian sites write Ingmari Lami instead of Ingmari Lamy, this does not change anything in the Italian pronunciation but I would like to know if both surnames are correct.. waves.gif

Ingmari was born Johanssen and Lamy comes from Francois Lamy, photographer and ex husband. I suppose Lami is just a misspelling

Back those years it was not uncommon to see actresses as cover models. I do not know many of them and as you see I have mistaken a few. Thanks for correcting me

The ones you posted look like bw photos that were then colorized, not true color photos—something between a true photograph and a painting,with various "adjustments". Very interesting.

Indeed. There is also a funny cover with a necklace painted on the model

And then I suppose these could be Greta Garbo:

Greta Garbo pic 1 and 3. Greta-I think-also in 2 but curious resemblance to Diane Varsi who was born in 1938 so can't be her.

This cover seems to have been made by a fictional model, one could say virtual... Maybe I'm wrong. ph34r.png

Wow, thank you @Ingmari , these covers are wonderful, they look like paintings. I believe all of them are from the 40s. I have many from the 50s, with models without IDs. They are a middle ground between these and those from the 60s, they look more like painted photos.

I'm pleased to have contributed in a good way. I do agree @Dayrell , these covers look fabulous. Here are a few more: (is the third from left Olivia de Havilland?) Of course I ignore the names of the models

Why cn't I reply in the proper post? I'm so sorry I've messed up with the messages
