I actually love the bags under her eyes, makes her look...less vapid.

How old is she in that shot? Looks in her 40's.

Do you know where I could find pictures of her and Terence Stamp?

Does anyone have the bigger version of this one ? (rexfeature)

I can't say for certain but the book was printed in 1990 so I gather it's a recent shot, just not sure how recent.

Thanks for scanning that pic, 60swildchild! Her son looks adorable there

I remember how amazed I was when I first saw her picture. She has an absolutely stunning face! A timeless beauty, she would probably be equally popular today.

Scan from The Most Beautiful Women by Patrick Lichfield:


"English model, 'The Shrimp', who almost certainly possessed the most photographed face of the sixties. She was THE cover-girl of all time and achieved something of a record in having her picture on more magazine covers in one week than anyone has done before or since. She was 'discovered' by David Bailey and it is still a debatable question as to who made whom famous. Jean Shrimpton was a great model. She had a rare ability to make any clothes she wore seem as though she owned them. The session from which this photograph was taken involved twenty-seven lingerie shots for American Vogue which she did for me in just two days. Anyone who has worked with models will know that this is an exceptional feat." - Patrick Lichfield, 1981
