Linzi Drew (born 11 May 1958) is an English former glamour model, producer, adult model and pornographic actress.[1] During a varied career in the UK sex industry Linzi worked as a Page Three girl, stripper, glamour model and porn actress and was at one time the editor of the British edition of Penthouse magazine. At her height, in the 1980s, she appeared nude on a monthly basis in the softcore magazine Club International and was also jailed for illegally distributing porn [1], something which she and boyfriend Lindsay Honey talked about in a BBC Open Space documentary entitled More Sex Please, We're British[2](1993), made by Isobel Koprowski, which discussed liberalisation of censorship laws.
Linzi has also had minor roles in a handful of mainstream films including An American Werewolf in London, and a number of Ken Russell films including his section (Nessun dorma) in Aria and appeared on the cover of the 1984 Roger Waters concept album The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking
In 1993, she published her autobiography, Try Everything Once Except Incest and Morris Dancing: The Intimate Autobiography of a Dangerous Lady (ISBN 978-1857820348).
Linzi retired from the porn industry at the age of 35 to have a son, Tyger Drew-Honey, who became known for playing Jake in the BBC One sitcom Outnumbered. Both Linzi Drew and Ben Dover are referenced in Irvine Welsh's Novel Porno (2002) as being present at the Cannes Adult Film Festival, where Welsh's film-makers exhibit their final product.
