'''Rosa Domaille''', was a [[British]] [[pin-up model]]. It's fair to say that Rosa Delmai or Domaille as she became known professionally was one of a small handful of the modelling greats from the 1950's....In my mind she was certainly one of the prettiest with the seductive dark looks of a Loren or a Lollobrigida and the charm of the girl next door combined in a trim, athletic body and a pair of the shapeliest legs in the business. Rosa's natural beauty and curvaceous figure combined with that wonderfully continental sultry appeal set her aside from her glamour queen contemporaries [[Lorraine Burnett]], Paula Page, Rochelle Lofting, Diana Hedges and Margaret Middleton who had the bosom but not the exotic appeal perhaps Rosa, modelling rivals Rosina Revell and Marie Deveraux possessed. Rosa would look more at home in a harem, or penthouse flat in Mayfair than in the domestic interiors of 1950's suburbia for which we shall always remember her.

She was born in Bath in 1938 and owed her exotic looks to Portuguese and English ancestry. Seeking a career as an actress Rosa was discovered by an unnamed photographer in the Thames Valley Photographic Club were she earned 75p an hour at the tender age of 17 and became a popular attraction for other camera club photographers who named her ' The West Country Lovely'.

Eventually Rosa came to work for Toco publications where her first domestic strip lingerie routines appeared, usually alongside budding models Fiona Callum and Marion Holmes. Rosa spent endless hours posing in fields, snagging her petticoats on barbed wire, tumbling off sledges in bloomers, garters and stockings or making pots of tea in frothy petticoats, push up bras and high heels before gaining work at professional studios run by Eva Grant, Zoltan Glass, Roger Davies, Russell Gay and of course George Harrison Marks. It was Pamela Green who interviewed and booked the models and recalled her first encounter with Rosa......."I remember no one could remember how to spell her name...(all the credits listed different spelling) but it was Delmai....Rosa came to us for work and really was quite a dreamer.....not the greatest of models. You would get her in a lovely pose and say fine and then she would just walk off.....I said no Rosa you have to hold the pose, don't move...she didn't realise you had to arrange every finger, her legs her arms. Some of the girls like Lorraine would suggest poses and were very enthusiastic in fact I teamed Rosa and Lorraine together for a very good shot.

Regardless of their differences Rosa became one of the top five nude models in the English glamour industry and George and Pamela chose Rosa as a subject for a picture shoot in the magazine 'Picturegoer' in an article lifting the lid on the nude film craze. From this Rosa gained bit parts in T.V. commercials and variety shows with Norman Wisdom and Benny Hill. Parts were to follow on Danger Man, Deadline Midnight, Airline Detective. As George Harrison Marks mentioned in his opening notes on Rosa in Solo No 3 "Particular faces stand out in my mind as being above the crowd....The morning Rosa called at my studios for the first time. that vital spark was there and I felt this was a girl who had more to offer than the usual statistics".

He was right, by 1958 at the age of 20 Rosa had changed her name to Eve Eden and was offered a lucrative contract as a film starlet which was to last into the early 1970's . Her first role was as a showgirl in Doctor At Large was in 1958. This was soon followed by decorative roles in British dramas and comedies, amongst her more prominent screen appearances are roles in Naked Fury, A Weekend With Lulu, Young Willing and Eager, The Fall of the Roman Empire, Contest Girl, The Beauty Jungle, Help, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, and dozens of others.

In fact Rosa's career as Eve Eden was even more successful and Eve continued to pose as a blonde until the late 1960's.
 
Rosa was a cover girl for Picturegoer in 1959 and was Practical Photographers first cover girl in 1960. Dozens of pictorials followed both as Eve and Rosa, including spreads in Playboy, Hi-Life, Modern Man, Fling, Beau, Knave, Jade, Jem and dozens of other international titles.
 
In the British pocket sized magazine Rosa gained more coverage than any other model on the scene and was fully booked from 1957 - 1959 as a model she appeared in Foto, Model, Spick, Span, QT, Hush, Strip Lingerie, Sleek, X For Men, Beautiful Britons, Fan Fare, and hundreds of others usually in white lingerie, corsets, panties and stockings.
 
For collectors there are a wealth of nude and striptease standard 8 films featuring Rosa and Eve......Perhaps the most beautiful model of England's Golden Age and certainly today one of the most highly sought after models. Magazine appearances are becoming increasingly collectable.[http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/60sglamdatabase/RD.htm]
