Roxanne Brewer 1941-1987

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 information on it as well as a listing of her other magazine appearances). She also appeared in films and video loops which you can find out about in the Rox on Film page.
The ad below ran in all the top male magazines of the 70's selling the Roxy loops and others, (which later were put into the video & DVD compilation "BIG BUST BABES").Notice her name 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. 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 girl.

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 further unique attribute, though not of her own making, was the wonderful network of blue veins that often appeared around her chest in many of her color pictures. I thought they looked beautiful.. To a fan like myself she was a wonderful combination of beauty, sexiness, and a sense of fun.

I tried to bring all these wonderful facets of her career together on this website, with the photo galleries (updated each month) as well as with the pictures that accompany the various pages detailing her professional life.






My 2nd & 3rd favorite Roxy pix: (She just looked so darned
happy and likable!)



(...And cute and sexy!)



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 a video loop compilation Big Bust Babes. 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 EMAIL section that would "bare" out this part of her career.

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 unfortunately for her fans, this seems to have been true, for no newer pictures of her have surfaced since then.

Tragically she passed away in 1987 due to a heart condition, probably linked to a bout with rheumatic fever she contracted as a teenager.She died peacefully at her home in Minneapolis. She was 46.

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 generation that couldn't wait for the next monthly peek at their favorite fantasy girls.
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. For me it was a mound of red hair, a mischevious smile, and a slight overbite that signaled my dream-girl was back.

For a generation 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. Thank you Roxy!
