Her real aspirations were in singing and acting as she was a product of the Italia Conti stage school. She acted in a TV advert for Wrangler jeans as well as the highly popular "Grange Hill" children's drama.
We heard that she went on to become a fitness teacher. but have not heard from her for many years now, but would welcome any information to enable us to update this feature, as she remains one of our all time favourite models.

it was we need not have worried as she not only turned up but was her usual
superb self

friend who new her and produced her calendar in 1986 we booked her to pose on a
bike we had built in conjunction with Harris Performance, for promotional
pictures and a poster.
The response to this was amazing, and led to the idea of producing a page three motorcycle calendar
Samantha was a great girl and fantastic to work with. Following the shoot with her we went for dinner to a local pub, who when seeing who it was opened up early for us. The reaction from the regulars when they came into the pub was priceless, and it still remains as one of the most memorable shoots, possibly because it was the first
