    I love it! It reminds me of my mother… she was in her 20’s in the 60’s. So beautiful and glam!

  • John Hooton replied

    I thought she was great and under rated in her own country. They preferred foreign girls!

    Gorgeous model, gee I was only 6 in 1967, wow she must have been really tall what wonderful long legs she has too

  • John Hooton replied

    Hi Sharon, the legs were pretty long but made longer with a shift and tilt lens. I think she was a great model but the Italians seemed to prefer blondes. :-(

    Stunning

  • John Hooton replied

    Thanks Matt. Oddly Italians preferred European models and Marisa did not get much work, but I agree with you.
