Samantha Karen Fox (born 15 April 1966) is an English singer, songwriter, actress, and former glamour model.
In 1983, at age 16, she began appearing as a topless model on Page 3 of British tabloid newspaper The Sun, and continued as a Page 3 girl until 1986.
During this time, she became the most popular pin-up girl of her era, as well as one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s. In 1986, she launched a pop music career with her debut single "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)", which peaked at number-one in 17 countries.
In 1988, Fox received a Brit Award nomination for Best British Female Artist.
She has also appeared in a number of films and reality television shows, and has occasionally worked as a television presenter.
Early life
Fox was born on 15 April 1966 in Mile End, East London, the oldest daughter of actress Carole Ann Wilken and John Patrick Fox. She has a sister, Vanessa, and two half-siblings from her father's second marriage, Frederica and Frankie. Fox comes from a family of market traders.
Fox took an interest in the theatre from an early age; she first appeared on a theatre stage when she was three years old. She formed her first pop band with Richard Smart, Edward Gallagher and Bob Day when she was fourteen. She attended St Thomas More Catholic School, Wood Green; and was enrolled in the Anna Scher Theatre School from the age of fifteen. The next year she signed her first record deal, with Lamborghini Records.
Personal life
Fox's father Patrick, a former carpenter, managed her career until 1991, when she hired accountants to trace over £1 million (£2.3 million today) that she believed he had embezzled from her accounts. She sued her father, who by then had divorced and remarried, and in May 1995, she was awarded a £363,000 (£0.7 million today) court settlement. Patrick Fox died in 2000, at that time they had not spoken to each other for nearly a decade.
In the late 1980s, Fox became romantically linked with Australian career criminal Peter Foster. They began dating but she turned down his marriage proposal. She also had a relationship with Paul Stanley, the rhythm guitarist and co-lead vocalist of rock band Kiss. Rumours regarding Fox's sexual orientation began to surface in 1999 when she judged a lesbian beauty pageant, and rumours circulated that the woman with whom she resided, Cris Bonacci, the Australian former lead guitarist for the rock band Girlschool, was her lover. The relationship was confirmed later by Bonacci in an interview.
In 2003, Fox made a statement about her personal life: "I have slept with other women but I've not been in love before Myra Stratton. People say I'm gay. All I know is that I'm in love with Myra [Stratton, my manager]. I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her." Fox said that she had been reluctant to come out because, having already dealt with obsessed fans and stalkers, she feared fans' possible reactions. In 2009, she announced her plans to form a civil partnership with Stratton. In 2015, at 60 years old, Stratton died of cancer, at which point she and Fox had been in a relationship for 16 years. After that Fox began a relationship with her tour manager Linda Birgitte Olsen, a native of Norway. Olsen proposed and the couple became engaged on Valentine's Day in 2020. They married on 18 June 2022.
Career
Fox's first single came in 1983, when she was 16 years old. S.F.X. is credited with the credit. "Rockin' with My Radio"/"My Old Man" was released by Ian Gillan Band and Spencer Davis Group member Ray Fenwick, who also wrote the b-side, and was released on the Lamborghini Records label. Fenwick's collaboration continued into 1984 and her second album, "Aim to Win"/"17 and Holding", which Fenwick released and wrote the song on the B-side.
Also, in 1983, her mother submitted a series of photographs proving her mother's lingerie to the Boy of the Year amateur modelling competition. She came in second place out of 20,000 applicants, and the photographs captured her interest in the newspaper The Sun, which invited her to photograph Page 3.
Her parents begged for their permission for her to be topless, and her first Page 3 photo appeared in the Sun on February 22, 1983. She started a four-year Page 3 modeling career with the Sun and was named "Page 3 Girl of the Year" for three years in a row: 1984 to 1986. She is known as both the most popular pin-up girl of her time, as well as one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s.
Fox retired from Page 3 modelling at the age of 20, deciding to pursue a career in pop music. Age 29, she made a one-off appearance in The Sun in 1995 to celebrate Page 3's 25th anniversary. She appeared in the slot every day of this week after receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from readers, with the final topless image given away as an A3-sized poster on Friday. She appeared in the October issue of Playboy magazine the following year.
