== Modeling career==
In early [[1983]], Carole Fox took somea topless photographsphotograph of her sixteen-year-old daughter posing in a [[Basque_%28clothing%29|basque]], and entered themit in ''[[The People|The Sunday People]]'' newspaper's "Face and Shape of '831983" contest. Although Fox didwas notjoint winrunner-up, the newspaper''Sunday People'' published her pictures, and thea publicityphotographer earnedfrom the''[[The teenagerSun]]'' newspaper invited her for a modelling[[topless]] photoshoot shortly contractafterwards. She made her first [[Page Three girl|Page Three]] appearance in ''[[The Sun]]'' newspaper on Tuesday, [[February 22]], [[1983]], less than two months before her seventeenth birthday. (In the [[United Kingdom]] at that time, young women could pose topless legally when they turned sixteen; many Page Three girls began their modelling careers at this age.)
 
Fox's bubbly-blonde looks, winning smile, working-class background, and curvaceous 36D breasts, which looked disproportionately large on her diminutive 5 ft 1 in frame, quickly made her an iconic figure. She appeared on Page Three for three years, winning ''The Sun'''s "Page Three Girl of the Year" award each year. She famously insured her breasts in 1983 for a quarter million [[pounds sterling]], and her popularity helped usher in the [[1980s]] taste for top-heavy Page Three girls; busty models such as the 36DD [[Tracy Neve]] and the 38DD [[Maria Whittaker]] achieved considerable success in the wake of Fox's celebrity. Fox also appeared in [[List of men's magazines|soft-porn magazines]] such as ''Mayfair'', although very few full-frontal nude shots were ever published.
