Does the name Samantha Fox ring a bell? It should, because she's a cultural icon who burst onto the scene as a Page 3 model and then conquered the pop charts!
Samantha Fox, or Sam Fox as shes widely known, is synonymous with the 1980s. Her journey from a teenage glamour model to a global pop sensation is a story of ambition, controversy, and undeniable talent. Foxs career began in earnest in 1983 when, at the tender age of 16, she first graced page three of The Sun newspaper. This was a defining moment, not just for her, but for the publication itself. Page 3, a controversial feature showcasing topless models, was a staple of The Sun and a point of contention for many. Fox's arrival coincided with Rebekah Brooks (then Wade) becoming the first female editor of the paper, sparking debate about whether she would continue the tradition. Sam's appearance, however, remained, solidifying her place in tabloid history. Notably, Sam sought her fathers permission before her debut, which she revealed that he was initially hesitant.
Her tenure as a Page 3 girl lasted four years, during which she became a household name. Sam Fox wasnt just a face in a newspaper; she was a brand. She was awarded "Page Three Girl of the Year" for three years running, from 1984 to 1986. Alongside models like Heather Mills, Fox became a prominent figure during Page 3's 1980s zenith.
