Kim Vaughan
Bit of a long shot, but here goes:
Back in 1984 (25 years ago!), the Sunday Mirror ran a competition to find a new model. One of the final six contestants was a blonde 20 year old bank clerk from Birmingham by the name of Kim Vaughan. Kim didn't win the competition (I can't recall who did) but did make a few appearances in the paper and was selected to pose for one of the big calendars (might have been Pirelli) which was shot in Bali by Lord Lichfield. (One of the other girls involved was Caroline Hallett). A TV documentary was made about the shoot. As far as I know, Kim's modelling career didn't go anywhere as she seemed to vanish after the calendar shoot. Does anyone know any more about her? Or even better - does anyone happen to have any pics? As I said, I know we're talking about an obscure model and it was a long time ago, but you never know! |

The Making of a Model
Quote:
This is Kim Vaughan in the documentary mentioned. Called The Making of a Model it was shown on ITV in 1985. It was the Unipart calendar. (The 3rd image on the bottom row was a still used to come in and out of advert breaks. The final image is one used on the calendar as displayed in the programme) There were two other models but they were not prominently featured or named. This collage shows them both relaxing between shoots. If one of them is Caroline Hallett as suggested it is more likely to be the dark haired one on the top row. |
