rfobably none of their neighbors even suspect the double life the Anthony Jameson family leads in a suburban area of the San Fernando Valley. By day the head of the family, Anthony, Sr., is cloistered in a state engineering office along with dozens of his fellow engineers. His wife, Doreen is a mild mannered housewife, and the children, Anthony Jr., and Christine are hard working students. But when the weekend comes — the family loads a tiny imported car to the roof with costumes and off they go to act as models for camera clubs throughout the Southern California area. At a recent outing Jameson was seen posing in a Gay 90’s bathing suit and handle bar moustache. His wife was Whistler’s Mother — tennis shoes, and the children were dressed as a typical English lord and lady of the “My Fair Lady” geniere. The transformation is so com¬ plete and delightful, many of their best friends have failed to recognize them in the silly getups the Jameson’s affect. It has been more than fun however. For Doreen there have been commercials and modeling jobs in major publications. The children have been in at least one movie and more are in the offing. “What turns a normal American family into a bunch of weekend nuts?” Jameson’s co¬ workers asked recently.

There are thousands of devoted photographers in Southern California and the large concentration of them are found in the San Fernando Valley area. A photographer is never happy unless he has something to shoot. As a result the clubs are always seeking amateur models to pose in various settings. Quite by chance, the Jameson’s heard about this and the youngsters were invited to model. A MODEL FAMILY When the shutterbugs learned of Mom’s former, acting career, (she worked in British films) Doreen Jameson was invited to join in the fun. Anthony, Sr., went along to act as chauffeur. Gradually the family was able to ease him into certain scenes with his street clothes on. Almost before he knew it, Anthony, Sr., was posing in period costumes. When they felt secure enough, Doreen and the children sprung the Gay 90’s swimming suit on Anthony. For there it was an easy step to even more outlandish attire. Is it any wonder he refused to answer interrogation at the office? All modeling chores for the various photo days is free, so the Jameson’s must provide their own costumes — often an expensive labor -of love. The dining room table is covered with material more often than food. And Doreen frequently works far into the night preparing a fresh outfit for a new event. As it stands now, the Jameson clan Page 4
