The life of carol augustine

Im tsilentlyyell:  Carol Augustine, Penthouse Magazine 1972
from Barry Beckett
Carol was not half Brazilian. Her mother was a well known art school model in the sixties.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=431121120300956&l=71e0bfaf6a I drew her in 1966 at the Central School of Art in London, see it here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=431121120300956&l=71e0bfaf6a She claimed to be Romany gypsy, as did Carole, her young teen daughter, who also was an Art School model at the LONDON CLLEGE OF PRINTING in 1970/71, when I made a documentary film of the class called LIFE CLASS. She was young, delightful, gullible and controlled by her boyfriend who got her into the lucrative nude model business that hounded her, abused her privacy and finally she took her own life. I am still sad about this. More here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=151678568245214&l=161213b708 Barry P Beckett on The life of carol augustine was a glamour model half scot Feb'1972 Penthouse Pet, Aug'1973 Man Only babe, 1974 Oui magazine centerfold (and Apr'1975 cover) and numerous times page 3 girl in The Sun Newspaper . She also shot a movie called Confessions of a window cleaner (1974).
Causes: There seem to be two versions of what happened: that she died in "mysterious cicrcumstances" in Portugal or that she was murdered in London by a stalker.  Whatever the truth it seems that she died in 1975 at the age of just 21rying to put a post together on the life and death of carol augustine the famous model , do you have anything you can add? Theres nearly nothing on the internet.

  2. She was on a modelling shoot on location, probably Portugal. She was found asphyxiated on her own vomit. There was talk of her having taken drugs the night before. I worked in a well known model agency at the time and this was the version of Carole's death that we all heard,
