It was Jane Hargrave's ambition that prompted her to flee London for a chance to work at Penthouse's New York office. "New York is a wonderful city," says the shapely (35-23-35) Jane. According to Editor-Publisher Bob Guccione, who has been photographing Jane Hargrave since she was eighteen (Penthouse July 1975), the twenty-one-year-old 1976 U.K. Pet of the Year is "easily one of the most erotically beautiful women I have ever met...and one of the most interesting. Her physical beauty is classically English elegant and aloof, and yet her mind and her manner are ablaze with sexuality." Jane's appeal is direct and unerring. She is the living incarnation of one of the most popular of all male sexual fantasies, that inevitable amalgam of lady and whore-the perfect woman!Photographer:
In 1965, Bob Guccione, a struggling artist with an entrepreneurial imagination, started a magazine called Penthouse. Due to his lack of resources, Guccione personally photographed most of the models for the magazine's early issues. He spent long hours, and sometimes, several days, to complete a photo shoot. Although he had no professional training, Guccione applied his knowledge of painting to his photography, establishing the diffused, soft focus look that would become one of the trademarks of the magazine's pictorials. These images offered more sexually explicit content than other gentleman’s magazines of the era, establishing Penthouse as a well known name amongst its competitors.

Although Bob Guccione's formal training amounts to a one-month stint at the Art Students League, his entire life has revolved around the art world since the age of 5, when his aunt gave him a book of impressionist reproduction. As a young man living in Europe and North Africa, he furthered his artistic pursuits by painting and sketching for over 20 years. His sense of light, form, and movement can be attributed to the past 30 years he has spent behind the camera lens. Finally his lifelong acquisition of old-master, impressionist and post-impressionist works has greatly influenced his use of inert color. Although he is known primarily as a businessman, and owner of GMI and its 17 publications, he states that "my greatest passion has always been art."Featured Video:
