**Pat Booth, Lady Lowe** (24 April 1943 – 11 May 2009) was an English [model](/source/Model_(person)), [photographer](/source/Photographer), and [author](/source/Author) of [romantic fiction](/source/Romance_novel).

## Biography

Raised in the [East End](/source/East_End) of [London](/source/London) by a boxer father and an ambitious mother, Booth posed for such photographers as [Norman Parkinson](/source/Norman_Parkinson), [Allen Jones](/source/Allen_Jones_(artist)) and [David Bailey](/source/David_Bailey_(photographer)) in the 1960s. Famously, she was the model for Allen Jones' ["table"](/source/Hatstand,_Table_and_Chair), a woman on all fours bearing a plate glass tabletop on her back. She later became a photographer herself, taking pictures of such well-known figures as [David Bowie](/source/David_Bowie) and [Bianca Jagger](/source/Bianca_Jagger), [Jean-Claude Duvalier](/source/Jean-Claude_Duvalier) as well as Queen [Elizabeth II](/source/Elizabeth_II) and the [Queen Mother](/source/Queen_Elizabeth_The_Queen_Mother).[citation needed]

Her work has been displayed in the [National Portrait Gallery](/source/National_Portrait_Gallery_(London)) and in *[The Sunday Times](/source/The_Sunday_Times)* and *[Cosmopolitan](/source/Cosmopolitan_(magazine))*. In the 1980s she turned her hand to writing racy and glitzy romance novels, partly inspired by her own glamorous lifestyle. She was published in both the U.S. and the UK.[1]

She was, however, also a devout Roman Catholic and regular churchgoer. She provided assistance [clarification needed] to women who became pregnant, but were unable to support a child.[2]

Booth's first husband, Garth Wood, a doctor, committed suicide in 2001. The marriage produced a son, Orlando Wood; they also had an adopted daughter, Camelia Wood.[2] She remarried, to [Sir Frank Lowe](/source/Frank_Lowe_(advertiser)), in 2008 in a ceremony attended by good friend Pattie Boyd.[3]

Booth died from [lung cancer](/source/Lung_cancer) in a London hospital on 11 May 2009, aged 66.[2][4]
