Jackie Taylor

Also known as  – Jackie Miller, Jenny Freeman, Jackie Miles and Emma Wardlow

When she started modelling for ToCo, Jackie was a newly-married girl and trainee office clerk from Ilford in Essex with a broad taste in music, ranging from pop to classical and modern jazz. She had fabulous, long legs that really displayed stockings well. And fully fashioned stockings were still popular in 1968, when she wore them in Beautiful Britons 157, as they are indeed today – but seldom seen nowadays outside the bedroom. Jackie’s legs looked fabulous in a pair of Charnos, as they did in non-seamed mesh knits and even tights.

Jackie appeared under a plethora of names and you could be forgiven for confusing her with another model called Jackie Owen – they are very similar. Whatever her name, she was a genuine ‘girl-next-door’ dolly, with flashing eyes and a beaming smile. In some shoots (the one of her wearing tights with knickers on top in Spick & Span Extra 36, for example), she could look really sweet and gorgeous, but in others (at the Embankment and what might be the Essex coast) her face looks more angular and reveals slightly buck teeth. Anyway, she always seemed to get a kick out of flashing her knickers at us, so her incisors pale into insignificance.

With so many appearances to her many names, she is another mystifying instance of ToCo being coy with personal details, except that she seemed to love travelling and part-time modelling. Assume that could be said of all of the ToCo girls.
