Hey Greg– Sounds like that refers to Jean Shrimpton, who was no Beat. More like part of the London Mod Scene circa ’65. Jeannie Shrimpton was a Brit model, the Cindy Crawford of her day, and that day was ’65-67. She was the anti-Twiggy, with curves and long thick deep brown hair. Check out any fashion-related mags from that era, she’s bound to be on a couple of covers.
Good fortune.
