I looked up Lalla Ward on Wikipedia and it says she was born in 1951 so she would have been 14 at the time this ad was made and according to the article “She left school at the age of 14 because she “loathed every single minute of it”, and took her O-levels on her own. After spending a few years painting, Ward auditioned at London drama schools “as a sort of dare” to herself” so she would not have been a model at that time (although 14 year old models are pretty common) so its probably not here. Also Wikipedia says “She is the daughter of Edward Ward, 7th Viscount Bangor” so I guess that means she owns Maine. Well whatever she was beautiful.
That’s so latent I’m not sure it even qualifies as a double entendre. More an entendre and a half.

Or blatant, if autocorrect would let me use the word.

She looks like Lalla Ward, who played Romana on Dr. Who.

@ Charlene – What entendre, hey guys the girls won’t be able to resist your package, seems pretty straight forward to me.
@ bobby j – The ad is from 1965, I think that would be a little to early for Lalla Ward.

It does look ridiculously like her, but she would have been 14 when this ad ran.
I had no idea she was married to Richard Dawkins.

This girl a way to cute to be Lalla Ward. I bet she has better teeth too.
