about

Dedicated to Dawn Grayson; AKA Catherine Kirkham

“Dawn was an auburn-haired enchantress from the Luton area who
won the title of Miss Luton 1965. She was described as a housewife,
cashier and model. She worked under a bewildering plethora of
names; Kay (Catherine) Kirkham, Dawn Grayson, Carla Higgins, Kay
Stevens, Kay Stern, Dorothy Gregson, Marnie Hughes.
She came to fame in the early ‘60s when she appeared on Health and
Safety at Work posters. One of these was used as part of a safety
campaign for factory workers. As her husband was a toolmaker who
had several times been rushed to hospital to have splinters of metal
removed from his eyes, she was very keen to use her sex appeal to
help persuade workers to use safety goggles.
Dawn’s appearances from the late 1950s to late 1960s were not
limited to ToCo publications and some of her earlier work was with
photographer Harrison Marks. Although a more professional model
than those normally depicted in Spick, Span and Beautiful Britons,
she still had the ability to portray the “girl-next-door” look that
made the ToCo genre such international money-earners at that time.
ToCo itself described her as “the find of the year”, “one of the very
best models we’ve discovered” and “the epitome of symphonic sex
appeal”.
It is said that she loved gardening and landscape painting.”
