BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Described in Russell Gay's 'QT No.7' (and in several other magazines, especially in the US) as 'Britain's answer to Brigitte Bardot' and 'the most popular QT Beauty of them all', strictly speaking Rosina was not '60s Glam' - as her brief but brilliant career was over before the decade dawned. However she featured alongside models like Lorraine Burnett, Rosa Domaille and Anne Austin who went on modelling well into the 1960s, and her unforgettable image continued to be reprinted in magazines throughout the decade and even, in a later and raunchier generation of 'Big Bust' magazines, through the 1970s and 80s too. The daughter of a Maltese shopkeeper, Rosina's age was usually quoted in print as '18'. But she won a local beauty competition aged 14 and it is believed that - unbelievable as it may seem considering her extraordinary physical development - she was only 16 when she began modelling professionally. Reputedly she was eventually forced to give up the career through parental pressure.

UNVERIFIED INFORMATION

One US Magazine (title and date unknown) reported that Rosina worked as a stripper in London's Soho ar The Winston Club, Panama Theatre Club, L'Hirondelle, and Nell Gwynne Club. As these establishments existed, there may be some truth in this.

Rosina featured on the shirt above which was designed in the 1970s by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren. It had been displayed on the wall of Viviennes's shop, World's End, in the Kings Road, Chelsea, but is currently exhibited in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Apparantly no amount of pleading or cajoling will work: it is not for sale.....(Rcv'd by e-mail)

Flo Langley must be her actress name:

And it sounds like shes in more than one film.

Is 'Hue and Cry' the name of the film?
