Stephanie Marrian (born Stefanie Khan; 9 October 1948) is a former model, pop star and actress. She was the first Page 3 model in The Sun newspaper.

Modelling career

[edit]

Marrian was the first Page 3 model in The Sun newspaper in the 17 November 1970 edition, where she was named as Stephanie Rahn. Marrian was using her father's surname of Khan at the time; a subeditor at the newspaper misread her surname as Rahn. From 1973 to 1978, using the name Stefanie Marrian, her mother's surname, she appeared regularly as the Page 3 girl. In this role she was featured in the 2017 stage production of Ink, played by Pearl Chanda and directed by Rupert Goold, at the Almeida Theatre, London.[2]

Marrian was a glamour model throughout the 1970s, appearing topless and nude in magazines, papers and calendars world-wide. Along with two other Page Three models, Gillian Duxbury and Mona Solomons, she was a member of a pop group called Page Three.[3]

Family and personal life

[edit]

Marrian was born in Singapore to an Indian father and an English mother;[1] other sources erroneously stated that she was German and her birth surname was Rahn.[citation needed]
