Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, a TV host, English socialite, and model, has received a great deal of attention from the press. Her life and exploits were chronicled in weekly pieces throughout the ’90s in journals like The Sunday Times, The Mail on Sunday, The Spectator, and Tatler.

At the height of her fame, she was constantly followed by the paparazzi, and their photographs were widely circulated. How much she had to deal with the media is illustrated by this sloppy-looking snapshot.
