"News Flash"

The June 1993 issue of the Australian Penthouse Magazine hit the streets on Friday 14 May 1993. Penthouse, a mens magazine founded by Bob Guccione, combines urban lifestyle articles and soft-core pornographic pictorials that, in the 1990s, evolved into hardcore. ...


As part of its regular on-going series of full-page caricatures of celebrities, drawn by Frantz Kantor, and known collectively as "Kantor's Celebrity Skins", a cartoon was published on page 33.


With the title "News Flash", the caricature depicted an immaculately groomed, blonde female newsreader, quite obviously Anne Fulwood, sitting at her news desk, facing the camera, and completely naked from the waist down, with her legs spread apart clearly displaying her pubic hair and vulva below the desk.


Beneath the artwork, in large print, was the caption "Anne Fulwood".


As soon as she became aware of the matter, Fulwood threatened both Penthouse and Kantor with a defamation action.[1]


The matter was settled out of court. Penthouse recalled and destroyed all unsold copies of the magazine and publicly apologized to Fulwood for its offensive treatment of her and the embarrassment it caused her. It also gave her all of Kantor's original drawings, sketches, prints and drafts of the cartoon in question.[2]
