Vicky Kennedy
Margaret Nolan began her career as a model. As her glamour modelling career took off, she was briefly known as Vicky Kennedy in the early 1960s
She first appeared on film under Vicky Kennedy in “glamour” shorts by the then-reckless Harrison Marks, appearing in his naturist film It’s a Bare, Bare World and many others.
She also appeared in magazines such as Parade, Practical Photography, Man to Man, Adam, Amber, Folies de Paris et de Hollywood, Kamera, QT and many more.
Sources
The sources of information about Margaret Nolans’ modelling career are many, complicated and sometimes unreliable.
I will mention them if available, but this is not always possible. The most reliable information comes from VEF (http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/). But there are also other sources. Please visit the section “Acknowledgements”.
I also have a collection of magazines and books. Most of them are published here for your consultation.
If you have any information and want to share it, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Richard Tearle created the next information for his (UK) 60sglamdatabase
website. His website no longer exists, and the original files have been lost, except for an incomplete snapshot captured by the Internet Archive’s
Wayback Machine. Richard also notes that Malcolm MacDonald deserves credit for his contributions to the content. This content now was extracted from VEF: Vintage Erotica Forum and published there by Geemahn (Vintage Erotica Forum)
(As a collector of Margaret Nolan / Vicky Kennedy memorabilia, I am unsure if this list is accurate. I found magazines and books with images of her not listed in the original article. I am adding them to this list. Also, when the publications mentioned in the list are added to my collection and published on the website, a link will be published, too)
