This is some information I found on Marilyn Woolhead and it's all rather intriguing. I can't be 100% sure it's the same model as the MG but it's an unusual name and there are a lot of coincidences. Apparently she was a Bunny Girl and also had a stage name of Marilyn Taylor.

Here's a pic front and verification on the back that it's her from here. The website claims it's authentic and apparently it's an actual real press photo (I don't know the significance, if any, of the bloke on the left).



The next pic is from here dated 19th Feb 1968 where she admitted to 41 Charges Of False Pretences for trying to get money using someone else's credit card from Barclays Bank branches with two men whilst disguised wearing a dark wig. She was fined £100 with £25 costs.

.

Here's another pic of her from a story here dated 8th Aug 1970 where she and four others were charged with possessing marijuana and other drugs after being arrested in Amalfi, Italy.




Lastly, apparently she had some involvement in the death of New York Dolls drummer Billy Murcia. This is taken from here.

In October 1972 the New Yorks Dolls arrived in London with a series of shows including a slot with Rod Stewart and The Faces at Wembley Empire Pool (now Wembley Arena) and a showcase at the Speakeasy in Margaret Street.

It was at the Speakeasy where founding member and drummer Billy Murcia met a girl called Marilyn Woolhead who sorted him out with some Mandrax.

When Marilyn invited Billy to her flat here the following week, he gladly accepted and partied with her and fashion designer friends.

No one really knows what happened later that night and the testimonies at the inquest were vague, but essentially, with the Mandrax kicking in, Murcia drank some champagne and passed out; some of the partygoers put him in an icy bath while Marilyn forced him to drink some black coffee this proved to be a fatal combination.

Cause of death was recorded as drowning in a domestic bath while under the influence of alcohol and methaqualone.

More on this can be found here and here.

What a find, thank you.





Interesting detail: on her pic it must be top of the wing of Fiat/Zastava 1300/1500, model sold in some significant numbers only in Italy, Yugoslavia, Argentina and Columbia - so, there is chance it's filmed in Italy.
