| | Model History: Sue Murray & Stephani Cook ~ The Great Autograph Chase ~ 1966 Seventeen | |
This multi-page Celanese ad from the November 1966 Seventeen magazine was a take-off on British rock stars being pursued by their female fans in The Great Autograph Chase. Stephani Cook (Jenny) and Sue Murray wear mod Datesetter minidresses as they follow Campbelle Camp and Chick Noodle through European discos:
(NOTE FROM SUE MURRAY:
Hi Linda and Susan, Sunny Griffin alerted me to this post, thank you both and thank you Sunny. The male model in the series was Alexis Waldeck, he modeled for Bob Richardson quite a lot before becoming a photographer himself. Alexis and I had fun working together non professionally as he experimented with photography. I would love to post a small sketch I did of him, if that is possible and also one or two of our shots. Bob Richardson was the photographer for these ads. Sue)
below: Susan's sketch of Alexis Waldeck

Sue Murray was one of the biggest models in London in the Sixties. She was born in Bournemouth, England and raised in India and Sri Lanka. She knew early in life that she wanted to paint and was fortunate in having access to the traditions of Western painting through the good offices of a member of the British Royal Academy, while living in Sri Lanka. In the early 1960's Susan moved to London to pursue her studies at the Byam Shaw School of Art. It was at this time that she accepted a Vogue contract and worked with such legendary photographers as David Bailey, Bert Stern, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, some of the greatest photographers of the day. The hectic and somewhat superficial life in New York, Paris and London led her back to India in quest of meditation in the Himalayas. Here Susan realized that she had not had time to acquire the grammar of painting.

She goes by the name Susan Stokes.
