Bridget Leonard

A Brightly Lit Bridget! (Original)

Bridget Leonard by Harrison Marks on the bedroom set from a restored colour slide. Another one of the later colour slides that had some colour that seems to have survived, although when trying to recover the colours it did come out rather bright!

Bridget is one of those models I’ve published very little of, not for any reason other than I don’t have much of her, other than a copy of her Solo appearance in Solo No.25 (1962). Several similar shots to this slide also appear in Solo. Thanks to Kevin for sending over this scan of the slide 🙂

4 Girls As Nature Intended (Original)

By Wonder June 4, 2015 September 29, 2016 Uncategorized

A wonderful original shot taken by Douglas Webb of Jackie Salt, Bridget Leonard, Angela Jones and Pamela Green posing on the set of ‘Naked as Nature Intended’ filmed by Harrison Marks in 1961. This shot, which is one of two I have was taken at the Spielplatz Naturist Club in Bricket Wood, near Watford during the shooting of the NANI film. The scenes at the club can be seen featured towards the end of the film, where all four girls are seen in and around the Naturist club, along with other members. Pam was a member of there for several years before this was shot and there are some great posts of her at Speilplatz, along with other articles about the club over on her official site here.

I’m loving the strategically placed hands and towels to cover the girls modesty in this shot and the older lady in the background wearing the sash is Mrs. Dorothy Macaskie a club regular and wife of the founder of the club Charles Macaskie. The bottles of drinks on the table are Fanta and no wonder Pam never had any tan lines if she was a member of this club 🙂 Thanks to Yak for the additional information in the comments below!

Bridget Leonard was the live-in girlfriend of photographer Russell Gay and ran the office in Oxford Street for him, which was the mail order outlet for Venus Films. They split up around late 1967 early 1968. She was already modelling for Russell before she got a role in Harrison Marks’ first feature film ‘Naked as Nature Intended’. She first appeared in Kamera No.43 (1961) then Kamera No.44, 46 (Cover) & 54 and then in Solo No.25 dedicate just to her. Her only glamour film appearance was as a Wild-West saloon girl in the HM Glamour Movie No.106 ‘Gamblin’ Gal’ (1962).

The cracking shot of Bridget above comes from Kamera No.46 (1962) and features her on the cover and centre pages in stills taken on the Wild-West Saloon set featured in ‘Gamblin Girl’.

Kamera Calendar 1963 (Jan – June)

By Wonder October 18, 2013 October 18, 2013 Uncategorised

Time for another Kamera Calendar, this time we go back a bit to 1963 and the cover and first 6 months.

The cover of the calendar is a puzzle, according to some there were two versions on the calendar each year. One was for the general public, without cover and one for garages, business etc that was mounted and had a cover, or it could have been the other way around! I’ve seen some on their original mounts on eBay with a cover.

Anyway on to 1963, including a cover 🙂

Cover – Tina Graham (Christine Carter)

January – Bridget Leonard

February – Ann Walker

March – Marie Deveraux

April – Pamela Green

May – Jackie Salt

June – Rita Landre (Pamela Green)

Thanks must go to John W for this set of scans and for getting his A3 scanner out so I didn’t have to stitch the images together 🙂

Note: All images, original or otherwise have been carefully edited and restored where required and a lot of effort has gone into this. Please feel free to share, but kindly link back to this original if sharing elsewhere, Many Thanks! – Wonder
