Original 35mm slide features Carmen Pope taken by Bob Guccione in 1982. Subject:
Carmen Pope, the dusky beauty who debuted as March 1978 Pet of the Month, is an unbashed sensation seeker. Underwater swimming is her favorite primordial pleasure, coupling womblike security with the weightlessness of space. Next best thrill: drag racing her souped-up-V28 Camaro in the outskirts of L.A. Needless to say, even at full speed ahead our 38-22-36-inch water sprite stops more than her share of hearts. Now a budding actress, Carmen has appeared in films starring James Garner and Tony Curtis. The limelight was frightening at first, but now she takes to it like a duck to water, learning to go with the flow.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 gentlemans magazines of the era, establishing Penthouse as a well known name amongst its competitors.Featured Video:
