Biography

About Tessa Hewitt

Edited by the community

British former actress and glamour model Tessa Hewitt first came to public attention in the 1970s and 1980s. Born on 4 August 1959 in the United Kingdom, she made her Page Three debut in 1978 at age 17 after winning a modelling competition. Over the next six years, she worked as an adult model, a glamour model, and an actress, appearing in films such as Flash Gordon (1980), Instant Justice (1986), and Queen: Bicycle Race (1978). She is also remembered for her high-profile relationships, including a brief affair with pop star Adam Ant.

Hewitt's career, which began when she was barely out of her teens, brought her fame and financial reward but also took a personal toll. She has spoken candidly about the pressures of the industry, describing feelings of inadequacy, depression, and drug use during her modelling years. Reflecting on her time as a Page Three model, she has questioned the long-term cultural effects of topless imagery and expressed regret about the industry's impact on young women. At 19 she married Lawrence Matz, a man six years her senior, but the marriage ended after eighteen months. By age 24, she decided her modelling career was over and left the industry.

After quitting, Hewitt moved to Lincolnshire, bought a house and horses, and led a quiet rural life. A later move back to Sussex, where she grew up, coincided with a religious conversion. As a born-again Christian, she has said she has never been happier and has chosen to remain celibate until marriage. She now keeps busy with church activities, a cosmetic consultation business, and occasional small film roles. Despite having had plastic surgery to enhance her bust to a 34D, her original natural measurements were 32-24-34, and her body type is athletic. At 5'4" and 112 lbs, with blonde hair and blue eyes, she remains slim and blonde. She is Caucasian, straight, and has ear piercings.
