Athena’s iconic ‘Tennis Girl’ model, now 52, turns around

DailyMail:

Her cheekiest of poses on a sunny tennis court way back in the 1970s remains one of the world’s best selling posters.

Now, after more than 30 years and countless refusals to pose again, Fiona Walker has decided to show her face for the first time.

Aged 52 and married to a wealthy businessman, she has no regrets about her moment in the spotlight – even though she has never earned a penny from it.

Elliott went on to sell the image rights to Athena but retained the copyright, earning him an estimated £250,000 in royalty payments. Two million copies were sold worldwide.
