She certainly used to appear in " men's magazines" - not sure whether or not this was prior to her appearance in the Sun.
We have to mention The Brit Awards in this. Mintguy 11:59, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Sui generis - you expect Sun readers to know latin (or at least be bothered to click on the link). Mintguy 13:00, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
The difference is obvious. The Brit is brutally ugly 2A00:23C6:BA13:4801:2D02:FC39:26F3:5EB3 ( talk) 14:49, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
I'm a bit surprised that no one has thought to distinguish these two ladies, seeing how their fans are well aware that there are 2 women with this name.
So how should we handle this confusion over similar names? Move this content to Samantha Karen Fox, create an article under Stasia Therese Angela Micula for the American Samantha Fox, star of stage & screen, & create a disambig to fill this namespace? Or leave the content here & just offer a link to Stasia Therese Angela Micula (her birth name, according to IMDB) for those looking for the American Samantha Fox? -- llywrch 23:30, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
Surely there's a better, non-topless image of SF that can be used in this article, which is, I remind everyone, supposed to be encyclopaedic (I'm removing the bit about her "alleged" measurements too). Exploding Boy 01:12, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
"During her modelling career, her measurements were reported as 195cm tall, 991cm/568cm/729cm 36-23-31" (B/W/H)"
The second photo here appears to violate Wikipedia policy against nudity in articles. PatGallacher 10:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
The image on this article appears to be a topless photo of a 16 year old - under British law (sexual offences bill 2003) this may count as child pornography. Can anyone confirm the legality of this?
I have had a look at the Sexual Offences Act 2003. By my reading this photo in the Sun was not illegal when it was published, but it is now. Wikipedia is governed by Florida law, which makes it easier to publish some matters which might be illegal in Britain, but under this Act Britain claims far-reaching extraterritorial powers. In Florida the normal age of consent is 18, so this image could be illegal there. We should err on the side of caution in the absence of a formal lawyer's opinion. PatGallacher
This is not child porn, no matter the age. This is not a pornographic photos. -- Haham hanuka 19:56, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
I personally think it should be left until there is a legal threat. Its not at all pornographic, and was legal at the time it was taken... Are thoes laws retroactive, or is it like a cat where if it didn't need a seatbelt the year it was built it doesn't ever.
This article is very badly written, can't someone rescue it? And what is with the Canadian bent? Hardly relevant to an article on someone who was an icon in Britain at the height of her fame.
I really don't think that her height, i.e. 1.55 m (5 ft 1 in) tall is so important that it belongs in th first sentence. I'm not sure where it belongs at all. RJFJR 03:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Someone has to mention that Sam Fox appeared wirh Hawkwind in er... 2000 for a reuninn Gimme Shelter thingy. I even saw her singing "I've got two silver machines" and wobble her assets. The rudeness don't quite work I know.
You gotta include the Hawkwind connection though - it's too weird to ignore!
The section on modelling career contains the following sentence:
"In 1996, aged 30, she appeared in the October issue of Playboy magazine. These were her final published nude photos."
It also then has this paragraph at the end:
"Samantha Fox was, in a online vote held by the British Newspaper the Daily Star, voted by its readers, as 'The best page 3 pin up ever' in September 2008. As a result of the poll win, she appeared topless for the first time in 12 years in the Daily Star although on page 5, not page 3."
Presumably if this last sentence is correct then the line about the 1996 playboy photos being her final published nude photos is incorrect. extraordinary ( talk) 15:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
anybody knows why is she in "lesbian musicians" and not in "bisexual musicians"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.117.94.130 ( talk) 23:37, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
OTRS ticket 2010102410002951 is related to this article and the reason I've semi-protected it due to vandalism. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( talk) 12:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm if Hugh Laurie's amusing song "Little Girl" - played during his time with Stephen Fry is actually inspired from Samantha Fox. It seems likely. 22:19, 28 March 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.169.97.130 ( talk)
Where is the article about her appearing in a porn flick? Jeesh I can remember it right now. I think that I have it at home. It was her, not the older Samatha Fox of the same name. 99.6.4.126 ( talk) 02:13, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

We are not here to empower women? We are however here to give a balanced and fair account of cases, which may include mentioning that women can sometimes fight back against sexual assault. Ms. Fox has gone public about these issues, so I don't think BLP issues arise. PatGallacher ( talk) 18:48, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
I am aware that Cassidy is now unable to answer the allegations against him, but as they have been widely publicised I think they are encyclopedic. Anyone who disagrees should discuss this instead of edit warring. PatGallacher ( talk) 19:40, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Don't think so, if you read the Guardian report properly, it conducted an interview with her themselves, it did not just report what the Daily Star said. PatGallacher ( talk) 15:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
If you actually read the main Guardian article properly, it doesn't just repeat the Daily Star's claims, it mostly consists of an interview the Guardian conducted itself through Amy Fleming. Dangerous waters this, that we should only take allegations of sexual assault seriously if they were made at the time. It sometimes takes two sides to conduct an edit war. PatGallacher ( talk) 16:07, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Is it alright if we replace the photo in the infobox with this - File:Samantha Fox (10546153413).jpg (seen to the right) - which is more recent and clearer? It is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic and therefore is free to share and remix. The reason why I ask is there is a note on the editing page about replacing the infobox photo, so I thought I'd check here first. Helper201 ( talk) 14:00, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
