Nina Carter (born Penelope Jane Mallett on 4 October 1952) is an English model and occasional singer.

Career

As Penny Mallett, she appeared nude on the cover of the magazine Mayfair in 1971 (Vol.6, No.9), as well as featuring in a fully nude pictorial occupying the centre pages. This was her second nude photoshoot, but she claimed in a 1978 Evening Times interview to have been unaware the photos "were going to be anything but tasteful" or they would appear "in one of the really naughty magazines". Later, as Nina Carter, she was a popular topless Page 3 girl in The Sun; the Evening Times article stated her measurements were 34-23-34, earning her the nickname 'The Body'. Together with Jilly Johnson, Carter formed a musical duo, Blonde on Blonde, which was successful in Japan. She also had a cameo in the movie An American Werewolf in London, featuring in a television advertisement for a kiss-and-tell article ("The Naked Truth About Naughty Nina") in the News of the World prior to David Naughton's first "transformation" into the titular beast.

Personal life

Carter married former Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman in 1984, and they divorced in 2004.
