Better this than a photo of her from the film Walkabout, that would probably put us all on the register :oops:
Never heard of it, had to Google it, she's in the buff by the looks of it but she was 19 at the time.
She did like taking her clothes off for many of our younger screen appearances though.

I don't think so. She would have been 18½ when the film was released in 1 July 1971, but 16½ when it was filmed in August-September 1969.

Someone has plausibly written on IMDB: "There has been some confusion over Jenny Agutter's age during the time she filmed this movie. Some people assume she was 18 or 19 based on her birth year of 1952 and the 1971 release date of the film. But Agutter herself has said she was 16 when she started filming, including the full nude swimming scene. The movie was made in 1969 but wasn't released until three years later. She also revealed in an interview that she made this film before The Railway Children (1970) and she was 17 when she made it. "

Personally, whilst Jenny is very nice I prefer a little bit of Rosamund, the quintessential fit-as-f*ck English Rose.

anyone notice the weird ear lobes

View attachment 76200

"there are two types of earlobes found in humans - free earlobes and attached earlobes... Attached earlobes . . . are not rare, but are also not commonly found."

My sister inherited one earlobe from our mother and the other from our father.

just read that and didn't understand a word of the attached lobe paragraph, is it me or is that a load of double dutch

"When alleles combine, some exert ‘stronger’ influence down sythan the others. The stronger allele is responsible for the dominant traits. Dominant alleles are said to be found throughout an organism. If the dominant allele fails to show its presence, the recessive allele will be expressed."

Well it makes sense to me, but using 30 year old knoweldge.

I think it is a typo. "When alleles combine, some exert ‘stronger’ influence down sy than the others. "
