Anita Hemmings

Sobre Anita Hemmings

Born in Sweden, Anita Hemmings carved a niche for herself as a glamour model during the 1970s and early 1980s. She graced the pages of Mayfair under her professional name, Anita Hemmings, while also appearing in other publications using her given name, Annicka Salmonson. Her modeling career concluded with her marriage to Nick Bell, who managed the band Deep Purple. Hemmings, also known by her birth name Annica, is a somewhat elusive figure despite her considerable magazine presence. While her exact career trajectory isn't perfectly documented, it's widely believed that her initial appearances as a Page 3 girl were not necessarily the start of her modeling endeavors. A Dutch magazine reportedly adopted the name Anita Hemmings for her, a moniker that subsequently stuck. However, a discrepancy exists, with one issue of Flirt claiming her name was Carmen Grant, a detail likely fabricated for a story. Oui magazine also credited her under various guises, including “Tom” for a piece titled “Her father wanted a boy,” as well as Rosie and Carmen. The extent of her work is further illustrated by an unrecoverable list that indicated she appeared on an impressive 128 covers. Her extensive magazine credits span from 1971 through 1988 and include numerous international titles.
