About June Palmer: Beautiful June Palmer, she of impeccable curves, was born in London on August 1, 1940. By the late 1960s she had blossomed into the subject of many a red-blooded Englishman's fantasy - her amazing figure, lovely face, and natural charisma in front of the camera made her a much sought-after model for magazine and camera club shoots in the UK. It's rumored that she got her start dancing at SoHo's legendary Windmill Theatre during its last years, though at 5'2" it's unlikely she would have met their height requirements. In any event, she soon went exclusively into modeling. June's most famous material comes from her long-standing collaboration with photographer Harrison Marks, who very nearly did not hire her due to incessant giggling during their first test shoots - luckily June settled down and the pair became one of the most successful in glamour photography at the time. Though June and Harrison's relationship was romantic as well as professional, she eventually married photographer, actor, and stunt man Arthur Howell. She retired from professional modeling in 1970 and Howell and herself opened Strobe Studios, which for two hours every Thursday evening was open to amateur photographers to practice their art - portraits and pin-up style photography the first hour, a cup of tea, and then classical poses for the remainder. During this time June ran the respected June Palmer Modeling Agency and continued to pose for private shoots well into the 1970s. She also appeared in several 1960s and 70s B-movies, including Taste the Blood of Dracula, Games That Lovers Play, The Nine Ages of Nakedness, and other pinnacles of modern filmmaking. Not to mention her many playful and sexy 8mm loops. Sadly, June passed away at the end of 2003. She leaves a legacy as the perhaps the most reknowned British glam model of the 1960s and by all accounts a warm and genuine person, still beloved by fans the world over.
