Dawn Grayson
Dawn Grayson was one of the foremost models of the late Harrison Marks era. Described by Girl Illustrated as “a byword for professionalism”, she was immensely popular and featured in many publications. She allegedly got started in the glamour industry after posing for an advertising safety poster.*1
The safety poster in question was taken by Harrison Marks himself and was used by the British Safety Council in 1964 and caused quite a stir, as documented here!
The document and others state in 1964, she was 22 years old and married to a car plant worker based in Luton, Bedfordshire and had an 11 month old son. Various other magazines also refer to her wanting to move to America or having moved to America as her husband got a highly paid position in electronics. Another article says she had been in the states for about a year in 1973 and continued her modelling career over there.*2
So, some things do seem to be true in part, she was married, he was a electronics engineer for a car plant and they moved to America, plus they had at least one child. As to beyond that point, like many other models of that time the details become sketchy.

Molly Peters
Molly Peters was a gorgeous and voluptuous British blonde bombshell actress and model who appeared in a handful of films and TV shows during her acting career in the mid 60s. Molly was born in 1942 in Walsham-le-Willows, Suffolk, England and started out as a model and she graced the covers of and posed in pictorials for many of the men’s magazine of that period. In her early modelling career she posed for HM and appeared in multiple issues of Kamera and other HM publications and glamour films.
Molly achieved her greatest enduring cult cinema popularity with her memorably and sensuous portrayal of Patricia Fearing, the fetching masseuse who gets seduced by James Bond at the Shrubland health club in “Thunderball.” She was discovered by director Terence Young and has the distinction of being the first Bond girl to be seen taking her clothes off on screen. In the wake of her 007 stint Peters acted in two more movies and popped up on episodes of the TV shows “Armchair Theatre” and “Baker’s Half-Dozen.”
