Biography |
Samantha Fox is an English former glamour model and
dance-pop singer.
As the eldest daughter of the late Patrick John Fox and
Carole Ann Wilken, Samantha Karen Fox came from a family of
market traders in the East End of London. She has a sister,
Vanessa, who is six years younger, and a half-sister,
Frederica, from her father's second marriage.
She attended St Thomas More RC School, Haringey, and took a
keen interest in the theatre from an early age. She first
appeared on a theatre stage at the age of three, and was
enrolled in the Anna Scher Theatre School from the age of 5.
Her first television appearance came in 1976, at the age of
10, in a BBC play entitled No Way Out. Following on from
this, she started at the Judi Dench Mountview Theatre
School, near her home in Crouch End, at the age of 11.
Interested in music from an early age, she formed her first
band, with Richard Smart on guitar and Bob Day on
tambourine, at the age of 14. Her first record deal came a
year later, with Lamborghini Records. However, both her
theatre and music careers went on hold when her modelling
career took off.
Fox was twice linked to Australian con man Peter Foster.
They dated in 1986-87 and then, after a seven year
separation, they reunited in 1994 for a year. They were at
one time reportedly engaged to be married. Fox described
Foster as "the love of my life". She has also been in
relationships with Paul Stanley, the singer and rhythm
guitarist for the band KISS; and also with Spanish
bullfighter Rafi Camino. |
