Daughter Kim, 37, said: “I’m really proud of her and her work. She travelled all over the world and met amazing people. 

“She was also good friends with Linda Lusardi and Samantha Bond.

“Her friend told me Rod Stewart pursued her and even contacted her agent to ask her out. But she wasn’t interested.”

Susan continued modelling into her 50s and was fictionalised in 2013 film Rush, with Chris Hems­worth as James Hunt.
