Ingrid Boulting: She was a top model in the sixties and seventies. With her huge limpid blue eyes and cameo complexion, Ingrid landed contracts with some of the most coveted cosmetic companies. She was the face of Biba's fragrance, and Mary Quant. She was the daughter of a prominant filmaker. Ingrid took up acting and toured with the Oxford Playhouse. She acted opposite Robert DeNiro, in the film The Last Tycoon. Today, Ingrid is an artist and is an advocate of Yoga and metaphysics.

Beautiful girl. Mesmerizing face.
Thank you! I remember when I first plugged into the internet many years ago, one of the first celebrities i looked up was Ingrid B. I always thought she was amazing looking--those eyes!--but there was barely anything up. Later, she put up her yoga/spirituality site. But never enough pics of that amazing face. Nice to see more pics. One of the loveliest models of that era.
this woman was the perfect face for BIBA. She was one of my favourite models back in the day (Br. Vogue, 19, honey..) Great to see this pix!
I saw Ingrid Boulting in The Last Tycoon, I hadn't heard of her and thought I would look her up. Good to see that she is doing well, teaching yoga and interesting to read her back story. Thank you.
I love her make up in the second last picture or is that a mask.
