Anita Hemmings

Anita modeled for Mayfair as "Anita Hemmings," and for other publications she was credited under her real name, "Annicka Salmonson." However, the name Anita Hemmings was actually given to her by a Dutch magazine and it stuck. An issue of Flirt claimed her name was Carmen Grant, but that was likely made up for the story. She was also credited as "Tom" by Oui magazine, and as Rosie, Carmen, Rachel, Nicole, Marta, Rosa Calvi, Sue, Dinah, Dina, and Annike. This variety adds to the difficulty of tracking her career, which is curious given the sheer number of magazines she appeared in. She was a Page 3 girl multiple times, but it is not certain if that started her career or came later.

Her career included being the Mayfair Girl of the Month in March 1973. She appeared on 128 covers, though that list is long gone and unrecoverable even by Archive. She married Nick Bell, then manager of the band Deep Purple, and retired from modeling thereafter. Her magazine credits are extensive, spanning many countries and languages, from 1971 to 1988. She appeared in publications such as Aktuellt, Fiesta, Fresh, Praline, Chic, Daily Girl, Eurogirls, Rex, Sexy, St. Pauli Extra, Carnival, Pardon, Penthouse UK, Reeperbahn Sex Illustrierte, SE, Wochenend, Club International, Das da, FIB aktuellt, Men Only, Pep Aktuell, Interviu, Chick, Sun, True Action, Ciné Revue, Chiss, Er, Freitag, Frech, Girls, Oui, Playlady, Schlüsselloch, Smart, Custom Car, Cheri, Deutsche Sex Illustrierte, Feigenblatt, Spontan, Adam, Gentleman's Companion, Rits, Le Ore, Super Sex, Kosmoplit Press, Private, and many more. Some of her credits have unknown dates, including an Erotica Memoir of Paris and several cover appearances. Her career is a testament to her widespread presence in the industry during that era.
