Maxim Magazine January 1999 Issue 45 Amber Smith Salma Hayek Angelica Bridges SKU 1495

Original UK Maxim Magazine – Issue 45, January 1999, featuring Amber Smith prominently on the front cover.

The cover is a classic late-1990s Maxim design, with Amber as the main cover model and the headline “Amber! Ready, Steady, Go...”. The magazine mixes glamour photography, celebrity features, comedy, lifestyle pieces, sports, fashion and general men’s-interest editorial content.

The photographed contents page confirms a substantial Amber Smith feature beginning on page 98, alongside additional pieces on Salma Hayek, Angelica Bridges, comedy personalities and various lifestyle subjects.

Amber Smith Feature

Amber Smith is the principal cover star of this issue and appears prominently throughout the opening contents section.

Her main feature begins on page 98 under the heading:

“If only... Ready, steady, go... it’s Amber Smith!”

The supplied interior image shows Amber in a professionally styled glamour shoot accompanying the contents. For collectors of 1990s modelling and celebrity magazines, this is one of the strongest features of the issue.

Salma Hayek

The contents list a Salma Hayek feature on page 40, under the title “Fantasy”.

This is one of the main celebrity names highlighted within the issue and adds further interest for collectors of late-1990s film and celebrity material.

Angelica Bridges

Angelica Bridges is featured on page 124 in the “Tonight I’m Yours” section.

The contents describe her as the flame-haired Baywatch personality, making this issue relevant to collectors of 1990s television and glamour-related magazines.

Comedy Feature

A major comedy section appears on page 70, advertised on the cover as a “Comedy Masterclass”.

Featured names include:

• Paul Whitehouse
• Charlie Higson
• Harry Hill
• Ian Hislop
• Bob Monkhouse

This gives the issue additional appeal beyond its modelling content, especially for collectors of British comedy and television memorabilia.

CD-ROM
