As Penny Mallett, she appeared nude on the cover of the magazine Mayfair in 1971 (Vol.6, No.9), as well as featuring in a fully nude pictorial occupying the centre pages. This was her second nude photoshoot, but she claimed in a 1978 Evening Times interview to have been unaware the photos "were going to be anything but tasteful" or they would appear "in one of the really naughty magazines".[2] Later, as Nina Carter, she was a popular topless Page 3 girl in The Sun; the Evening Times article stated her measurements were 34-23-34, earning her the nickname 'The Body'.
Together with Jilly Johnson, Carter formed a musical duo, Blonde on Blonde, which was successful in Japan. She also had a cameo in the movie An American Werewolf in London, featuring in a television advertisement for a kiss-and-tell article ("The Naked Truth About Naughty Nina") in the News of the World prior to David Naughton's first "transformation" into the titular beast.[3]
Carter married former Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman in 1984, and they divorced in 2004.[4]
