Russell Gay
Russell Gay (born circa 1916) was a British glamour photographer.[1] He was known in the 1950s for his discovery of the model Sabrina.[2] In 1957, Gay was described by Art and Photography magazine as "the UK’s top glamour photographer".[2]
In the 1960s, under the name Mistral Films, Gay produced a series of low-budget films distributed on 8mm film, including World Without Shame, and the sex/horror short film Blood Lust.[3] In 1966, Gay launched the soft-core pornographic magazine Fiesta, followed by its more upmarket sister magazine Knave in 1968.[4]
He was the first husband of Patricia Maureen Rose, who was 32 years younger than him.[5] She was later to marry the billionaire John Kluge.[6]
Gay moved to live in Monaco in the 1980s, selling his magazine business to the magazines' printing company.[7]
