Pamela Green, Britain's top glamour model in the 1950s,has passed away. She was 81, and had been suffering from leukaemia for some time. For those of us of a certain age she will be unforgettable; a reminder of an age which now seems as remote as the Victorian era.It was a time when men in raincoats queued outside dingy cinemas to see Naked as Nature Intended , her only starring vehicle, shot by her then partner Harrison Marks. It was a largely plotless film, its only raison d'etre being the inclusion of a few shots of Pam and a few other girls in the nude for the final ten minutes. Besides this, she left behind a suprising body of work on 8mm film, and countless photo sets. None of this was even remotely pornographic, but relied solely on her statuesque charms to keep the buyers happy.Nostaglic old goof that I am, I cannot resist posting a more characteristic shot of Pam in her working clothes (so to speak).
