Roxanne was born in March, 1941 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Roxanne Brewer" however was her professional name, not her real name. After high school, and an early marriage that didn't work
out, she moved to California in the early 70's and began her nude modeling career, appearing in all of the major men's magazines of the era; Climax, Gent, Candid, etc. (Sometimes under the name "Roxy Lee" and other variations). Her career flourished as she became a popular favorite, and at one point even
had her own magazine issue,"Roxanne Vol. 1" (See the
Roxy Magazines link for some of her magazine covers, as well as a listing of her magazine appearances). She also
appeared in films and video loops which you can find out about in the
Rox on Film page. Some of the magazine profiles stated that she spent a lot of her time traveling around the US
in a nightclub/striptease show, And in one of her films
Hand of Pleasure she does a nightclub act in which she strips and then takes a
bath on stage, much like the bath she takes in the Big Bust Babes video compilation.
Therefore we may have indeed seen a recreation of her traveling show. We also have an eye-witness account from Roxy fan E.F. in the EMAILsection that would "bare" out this part of her career.

Roxanne Brewer 1941-1987
The ad below ran in all the top male magazines of the 70's, selling 8mm film loops of Roxy and other
famous models of the time, including Candy Samples. (The loops were later
put into the video & DVD compilation "BIG BUST BABES"). Notice her name in the ad was given as "Scarlet"!?
From her early work on, she was noticable for her stack of red hair, terrific bust line, and an
almost chameleon-like ability to change her appearance at times. And as her career grew, so did
her measurements. You can see the difference between her early photo shoots and later
"more developed" ones. Yet either way she remained a very healthy looking woman. A further unique attribute,
though not of her own making, was the wonderful network of blue veins that often appeared around her breasts in many of her color pictures.
Another feature that made her "stand out" from most other models was her toothsome grin and
sense of humor, often mugging for the cameras and showing an ability not to take herself too
seriously (a good example is her role as the "tennis player" in Deep Jaws).
Her modeling apparently ended in the early 80's with a final shoot featured in the January 1980 issue of
Gent Magazine. The cover proclaimed "Roxanne's Farewell Pictoral" and no other newer photos have surfaced since then.
I've been lucky enough to be in touch with a member of Roxanne's family and received word that our wonderful Roxy passed away October 1987 due to a heart condition most probably linked to rheumatic fever she contracted as a teenager. She died peacefully at her home in Minneapolis. She was only 46.
It`s unfortunate she was never able to realize the vast number
of fans she had. From the many, many emails I've received, as well as the
number of hits to this site, it's obvious she had a large and
devoted fan base. At the request of her family I've been asked not to reveal any private information about her life other than what is on this biography page, and I certainly respect their wishes.
What I've tried to do is bring all these wonderful facets of her career together on this site,
with the photo galleries (which I try and update as much as possible) as well as the pictures that accompany the various pages detailing her professional life.
(She just looked so darned happy and likable!)
But in a galaxy not so far away and in a time not so long ago, she and her sister "paper dolls" brought a lot of happiness and pleasure to a generation that couldn't wait for the next monthly peek at their favorite fantasy girls (well before the internet era. Whether they were called Uschi, Candy, Kitten, or Michelle, they all had a legion of fans who couldn't wait to scan the magazine racks looking for the newest cover or mention that their favorite was in that issue. They brought not only joy but also a way to make us feel a little less lonely, frustrated, and awkward. For they were always there for us when we needed them.
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
-Bob Dylan
