Angela Jay

Angela Jay died on Monday 6th of May 2024, at the age of 70 or 71, after a short battle with cancer. She passed away in hospital in Eastbourne, East Sussex, with her husband Ken by her side. Ken described her as 'the perfect girl next door' and told The Sun that Angela was 'a miner's daughter from the northern pits who dared to dream.'

Born in 1953 in Sunderland, England, Angela was English and Caucasian. She was spotted by a modelling agency after moving to Manchester. Ken recalled: 'She realised that she couldn't stay there and become the wife of a miner. Straight away she was such a natural. So fresh-faced. A lot of the models spend two hours getting ready - Angela was just ready to go.' He also remembered first seeing her: 'She had a pair of jeans and a scruffy T-shirt on and looked just as beautiful as anyone.'

Angela was a popular 1970s British glamour model who posed for top shelf magazines such as Playboy and Mayfair. She was perhaps best familiar to the British public as a regular Page 3 Girl in The Sun. Her screen debut came in Donovan Winter's adult melodrama 'The Deadly Females,' where she played an unassuming florist shopkeeper with a deadly sting for unfaithful husbands. She was active from 1972 to 1979, starting around age 19, and had a slim build, natural C-cup breasts, blonde hair, and grey eyes.
