As requested here is the article from the December 1982 issue featuring the 1982 Cover Girl Winner Toni O'Donoghue. Often with these contests, it is not who wins who ends up making it big, but one of the runners up and in this case I noticed a familiar face - that being Natalie McCurry who in the last photo is second from the right. She starred in this film in 1986 (which I am dying to see) and I'm sure was in an ad for either ruffles chips or ferrero chocolate but I can't quite remember!
Yes my mum subscribed to the Leichner deal where you get it send every month and then she cancelled it 'cos it cost a bloody fortune. I had a quick google of the brand, and it seems they may have gone into stage make up now. Do you remember a cosmetics brand called Jade? I managed to pick up some cool dark dark green mascaras from a cosmetics sale ages ago, and they were sooo dead stock. I remember watching an 80's film and seeing a Jade cosmetics stand in the background.

Vale Natalie McCurry, succumbed to cancer in October this year.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sad to hear this news, may she rest in peace. Since this post I have watched Dead End Drive-In and it is such a fantastic film and she was absolutely fab in it.
