H&E article about Educating Julie
 

Here's an H&E article about the making of "Educating Julie". Also a couple of other pictures of Gail Ward (who played Julie).

The film is available on youtube:

As explained in the article, Gail wasn't a nudist when she made the film but became one later as a result of her experience.

Strange to think that this film is over 30 years old. Gail Ward must be in her 50s by now. As far as I know, she was never heard of again. I wonder if she stayed a naturist?
As an aside, I just noticed at the end of the article that the original video was priced at £30. Pretty expensive in 1984 money.

Ah, the lovely Suzanne Brando, and 'Marie Louise'.. very little seen of these two, elsewhere?

You're right, nudist videos are always stupidly expensive for some reason. Regarding Gail, I read somewhere that her acting career didn't take off, and instead she did some top shelf stuff (but not enough to make a name for herself obviously).

Here's some more of Marie-Louise from H&E.

***** ADULT MAGAZINE PICS REMOVED *****

I have recently become quite enamored with Ms Ludbrook and discovered a few more pics of this gorgeous woman. See attached. I also found a (non-nude) appearance by her on a TV program called Scottish Women. She appears in Series 8, episode 1 where she discusses being a naturist. It can be easily found through google.

Now I am hunting for more nude pictures and especially videos. According to IMDB she appeared in two nudist documentaries, Full Frontal in Flip Flops and Free Sun Naturally. I have found several references thus far but no luck in tracking down the actual videos.

Any help from you gentlemen would be greatly appreciated. Let's uncover more of our girl Helen!

Gail Ward
 

According to Nudist Resorts.org blogs, Gail Ward was an aspiring actress who saw an ad for the movie along with some info they were having a hard time filling the role. She applied and got the job. Did some "glamor" work after that but acting career never took off. In an interview, she said acting in the movie led to her becoming a naturist. Someone posted that she has a FB page.

She also did a piece for one of those Holiday programmes, this one was on Channel 4, maybe, where she took her then boyfriend to Vera Playa. He wasn't a naturist at that point, she was, and a bit of the feature was his 'concerns' at his public nude debut.

Helen was also in another Channel 4 programme on naturism, and appeared in a section of it for a photo shoot with Charlie Simmonds (who probably made the films you mention). Helen and Wendy Cooper, I think, did some posing in a swimming pool at a sun club in England.

I have both of these on VHS tape, but I don't have any equipment to digitise them.

Here's a couple of Helen... :)

I'd dearly love to see these. Some years back there was a clip going around online, less than 30 seconds long, of Wendy setting up a camera and Helen getting into the pool. I assume it was a rip from one of the videos you mention above. Charlie would have been making one of his own films at the same time, as Wendy interviews Helen in the pool (mostly submerged unfortunately) in it.
Here's some more of Helen and her gorgeous body.

Yes, that's the one. I think that might have been Helen's entire contribution to that documentary, though.

The other 'holiday travelogue' one is longer. I think it might have been a 10 minute segment from a 30 minute programme which featured three couples taking different types of holiday. So, a clothed couple caravanning, a clothed couple doing Rome (or somewhere) and then Helen and her fella on a naturist holiday. I can't even remember the name of the show...

I must look to see if there's some simple way to digitise VHS tapes...
