Fiona Richmond - Steckbrief
Fiona Richmond (born 2 March 1945, Norfolk, England) is a former glamour model and actress.
Born as Julia Rosamund Harrison, she became a British sex symbol in the 1970s for her appearances in numerous risqué plays, comedy revues, magazines and films. She made her film debut (billed under the name Amber Harrison) in Not Tonight Darling (1971), followed by a cameo in Barry McKenzie Holds His Own, then larger roles in the X-rated movies Exposé (1976), Hardcore (1977) and Let's Get Laid (1977). She also recorded the spoken word album Frankly Fiona in collaboration with Anthony Newley. She is a former girlfriend of the late UK publisher and impresario Paul Raymond.
Fiona Richmond published a number of autobiographical books based on her sex experiences, including Tell Tale Tits (1987). Her last appearances in showbiz were in the 1990s, including guest spots on James Randi: Psychic Investigator (1991), The Truth About Women (1992), and as an uncredited extra in The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous (1995).
In the wake of Raymond's death in early 2008, Richmond who now goes by the name Julia Montgomery, gave a rare interview to the Daily Mirror (8 March 2008) about her former lover/employer:
"We had fabulous times touring the world looking for acts for the Raymond Revue bar…. (Paul Raymond) had a boat on the south of France called Veste Demitte. The closest translation from the Latin is 'Get ‘Em Off....' He was one of the last great showmen. Everyone today is just so much more boring."[1]
Richmond now divides her time between her two boutique hotels, Petit Bacaye Cottage Hotel in Grenada and the Onion Store Hotel in Hampshire, which she owns with her current partner Peter Pilbrow, a former pig farmer.
