Charmaine Sinclair (born April 23, 1971[2]) is a retired English glamour model.
Born in Chertsey, Surrey, England[2], Sinclair is the daughter of Portuguese-Indian and Jamaican parents.[3]
Most of her modeling was glamour and softcore in British men's magazines,[4] such as Fiesta. She was a popular Page 3 girl. Sinclair appeared in almost 10 Playboy's Book of Lingerie Newstand Special Editions, sometimes as "Charmaine Garth."[5] [6] She was also a lingerie model for companies such as Christine Le Duc. For a two year+ period in the mid 1990s, she was featured monthly in Club magazine along with Jo Guest.
Her career as an actress in videos began in 1990 with a series of softcore movies where she played a sexy private eye named Samantha Spade[2]. In 1990-91, she made a few hardcore scenes with her then-fiance.[4] These scenes have appeared in Sarah Young productions such as Hard Cut Videos and subsequently in various compilations.[7]
Sinclair also had a role in the Italian comedy, Cous Cous (1996).[2]
Her television credits include a commercial for Television X and weekly appearances on "Live TV's 'The Sex Show'" (London and Essex only).[1]
She was romantically linked to Robert De Niro for two years, circa 1993-1995.[8] According to a few tabloid reports such as the February 15, 1998 Sunday Mirror[9], Sinclair was a £3000/night call girl/porn actress at the time. According to these same tabloid reports, De Niro's lawyer insisted that he had never paid for any services. In a 1998 telephone interview[4], Sinclair characterized the relationship as "a normal meeting, a normal clean relationship" that she kept private for five years. She emphasized that most of her career had been glamour modeling. Sinclair also said that she parted amicably with De Niro.
Around 1999, she retired from modeling and acting. She participated in a dance review for a few years.[7] Since then, Sinclair has been reported to be living in England and working various jobs, such as fitness instructor and hairdresser.[7]
