June Palmer (1 August 1940 – 6 January 2004), also known as "June Power", was an English model and actress who, along with Pamela Green, was the most famous Harrison Marks glamour model of the 1960s. She was featured in his publications Kamera and Solo, and in his short films featuring nudity.[1]

Career

June Palmer was born on 1 August 1940 in London, England. In 1959, during her late teens, she began work as a topless dancer at the Windmill Theatre in London, and started modelling professionally in the late-1950s. She appeared in 8mm glamour films made by Harrison Marks (Flesh and Fantasie; Nightmare at Elm Manor; Photo Session; Star Strip; Dream Goddess; China Garden and The Naked World of June Palmer), Russell Gay (So Fur, So Good; Beauty and the Barn), Express Films (Body Beautiful[2]) and Arthur Howell (June in Orbit; Calamity June; Castaway; Mission Possible and Special Agent). She later played minor parts in movies, including The Naked World of Harrison Marks (1966), Taste the Blood of Dracula (1969), The Nine Ages of Nakedness (1969), Games That Lovers Play (1971) and On the Game (1974).[citation needed] Although she stopped modelling for magazines in 1970, Palmer continued to do some private modelling for London's various camera clubs until 1987.[citation needed]

Photographer Irv Carsten spoke about Palmer in the March 1962 issue of Modern Man: "I felt ashamed using an automatic camera. Her posing is second nature, she's beautiful from any angle, and without camera settings to make, there's nothing to do but watch."[3]

Personal life

In 1964, at 24 years old, Palmer married then 44-year-old photographer-come-stuntman Arthur Howell. In the 1960s, they started and ran Strobe Studios in Clapham, South London, an LCC-licensed model agency and photographic studio, which was advertised in many photography magazines such as Practical Photography.[4] Palmer divorced Howell in 2000, later marrying again. She died on 6 January 2004.[citation needed]
