Is there a fur detective in the house?

[MrC1946]

I posted three pictures in the gallery from the late 1950s. Are there any other old f..., um, I mean senior members like me who might be able to place the model.

 

I had once thought that she might be the actress, Elsa Martinelli early in her career, but I now greatly doubt that.

 

Anyway I think she is certainly lovely.

Help, OFF! I can't place her, can you . . . ? Firstfur, I know you were lurking today. Are you still around? What do you think? And don't say she precedes, you, either! You're a proud member of our little club - !!

MrC;

 

The one on the magazine cover is likea different woman from the other two.

 

With the other two your guess ofElsa Martinelli is probably a good one.

You could be right. I don't think the three were taken from the same mag. You see I was given these pics hence my uncertainty. (plus of course the fact that models were almost never credited in those days).

 

The first shot I know was taken from a late 1950s Vogue Cover.

 

Thanks

FrBrGr, you speak only the truth when you say that I am a proud member of our club of "mature" fur lovers, but I guess I was a late bloomer (actually you probably already know that I was!). I am thinking that maybe someone else will be able to identify the lady in question, but perhaps the answer might lie down the road via an eBay posting under "magazine back issues"--there are always some fur gems there.

 

Hope you find your answer, MrC!

 

Best to you all,

Firstfur
