REVEALED! Shocking collection of never before seen supermodel LAUREN HUTTON’s barely legal uber-naughty PENTHOUSE pix in a NationalENQUIRER.com exclusive!
A treasure trove of vintage pictures of barely legal model turned actress LAUREN HUTTON, clothed and in the buff, that are part of the late publishing magnate Bob Guccione’s archives, will be auctioned on eBay, with bidding starting at 5 p.m. (PCT) on July 4th, Jeremy Frommer, president of Guccione Collection, LLC, tells the ENQUIRER.
To be sold as a single lot will be 39 black and white negatives and assorted prints of Hutton along with several documents that prove authenticity and provenance.
“Most of the images have never before been published,” says Frommer, “and these include both nude and fashion shots. Lauren was just 19 at the time they were taken. The session was set up as a spec product shot and afterward she stayed on to pose for more provocative pictures, as well.
“The shots were all taken on December 5, 1962, by photographer Norman Nathan, with seven of those later appearing in the September 1986 “Penthouse,” the now defunct men’s magazine which Guccione published.
Says Frommer: “She’s as beautiful as ever in all of the images. But in my opinion, two of the standouts are a fashion shot of her in a bikini playing with a garbage pail she puts over her head. And in the other one she’s nude siting on a stool holding fencing gear.”
The documents in the lot are a model consent form signed by Hutton’s name back then, Mary Hall. She would change her surname for a period to that of her step-father, even though he never formally adopted her. There’s also a signed check from Guccione as payment for the gap-toothed star’s pictures, and copyright, made out to Norman Nathan photography.

“On July 22 we will open previewing of the entire collection to the public on the Web site,” says Frommer, who adds: “I don’t believe anything of this magnitude has ever been done before in photography on eBay. Lauren is an iconic figure in the fashion world and pop culture in general. And the timing of the sale is especially noteworthy in that she’ll be celebrating her milestone 70th birthday later this year,” on Nov. 17th.
“It’s hard to say what this material will bring since there’s nothing comparable to it,” he continues. “For somewhat of a comparison, we recently sold a handful of original Madonna prints—no negatives, though—from the photographer and taken in the 1970s, for close to $10,000.”
