The Beauty of Retrospect: Catherine Roberts, Again

Of course, Catherine Roberts' beauty is too splendid to confine to one post, and I have in fact devoted a whole week to her in the past. So why not a second post right here and now?

The above picture is from yet another Charles of the Ritz ad; she did so many of them, and it's ironic that her work for Charles of the Ritz has outlasted the cosmetics brand they were meant for. 

I don't remember what the picture below was taken for, but it was probably for another Charles of the Ritz ad . . . as, like this picture I posted in January 2013,  it features our heroine holding a seashell.

     

Though she obviously doesn't need a prop to look dreamy.

Nor does she need to worry about losing any of her incredible appeal as a model.  Here's a much more recent picture. :-) 

It's from a sample of her later work courtesy of Iconic Focus, the modeling agency representing women who have been in the business longer than the young models of today have been alive. And Catherine Roberts still has more staying power than any of them. :-)

The Beauty of Retrospect: Catherine Roberts

I have planned for July another set of four week-long looks back at four different models that I've featured here before. But as this is still June, I thought I'd take a look back at other models as well . . . starting with an all-time favorite of mine, Catherine Roberts. :-)

Ms. Roberts has been modeling since the seventies, and her career was especially active at the time Jimmy Carter was President.  If you saw President Carter on the evening news, than the commercial break probably included a spot with Ms. Roberts in it - like a commercial for Aqua Velva aftershave featuring her as the woman drawn to an Aqua Velva man.  The picture above is from a still from that commercial.       

Of course, Catherine Roberts is best known for her print work, and here are two wonderful examples of that.  Above is a picture from ad for Charles of the Ritz cosmetics ad, and below is a very sensuous photo from a Bergdorf  Goodman catalog.

Both photos are from 1979.

The Beauty of Anonymity: Unidentified Maybelline Model

This picture is from a Maybelline eye shadow ad that ran in 1977.

And while the beauty from her eye shadow is Maybelline, as far as the rest of her beauty is concerned . . . well, she was definitely born with it. ;-)

I post this photo here because this model is certainly a stunner, but alas, I don't know her name.  Back then, Maybelline ads didn't identify their models like they do now.

As always, anyone who can identify this woman is encouraged to leave a comment here with her name. :-)
