There's a criminal lack of Jill St. John pictures on this forum. Even the Bond Girls thread can't offer a single picture of Tiffany Case. Something needs to be done. Fast...

I tend to agree...I posted all the ones I've got long ago and haven't had a chance to make proper vidcaps of Diamonds Are Forever. You might try an unfiltered Google image search; I've put Jill through the search engines on many occasions myself but there seems to be a limit as to what's available, or at least to what's been posted, on the web.

One of the problems with being a fan of older celebrities (pre-1980s, or even pre-1990s) is that there's a real limit to the amount of material available. While paparazzi have always existed, they didn't seem to be quite as rabid 40 years ago. Today it seems everyone has a camera--especially when they're built-in to most cell phones--and digital photography means you don't have to wait for chemicaly developed prints; mass amounts of celebrity pix can be posted on the web literally within minutes--or even seconds--of being taken. Back in the day photogs had to choose their shots, use cumbersome, limiting technology like flash bulbs, wait for prints to be developed, and weren't trailing the celebs every second of the day like they are now. Because of these and other factors, there will always be a finite limit to available pix of classic celebs, however we probably won't run out of Paris Hilton & Alyssa Milano pix for the next century (not that there's anything wrong with those two fine-looking ladies).

In Jill's heyday, most of the pix taken of her (and most other celebs) were done as publicity for various films, TV shows and magazine articles (public paparazzi-style pix were taken as well, but most of these wound up featured in short blurbs in black & white magazines with the originals no doubt decaying in dozens of different archives). Today, anyone can do their own photoshoot, anytime, anywhere, for no specific purpose at all; Andy Warhol's prediction of everyone in the future getting 15 minutes of fame has obviously come to pass as anyone with a camera and access to the internet can make themselves a celebrity in a week or less; I'm constantly amazed at the number of "celebrities" who seem to come from nowhere but the internet and reality-TV shows. Let's face it--"celebrity" ain't what it used to be.

A few from me: named as found and unretouched - just what I've picked up over the years. All credit to the original scanners and compilers.

Jill in black and white. As before, named as found, unretouched, all credit to original scanners and compilers. There are some pics that are very similar, even if they are not actual duplicates. I haven't done any sorting as I'm sure Jill fans would prefer to do that themselves.

Starting to get more respectable...

A few more to help keep momentum. Some my own, some web finds, all hot-to-trot. (apologies for the copyright symbol and watermarks that appear in a couple).
