This is Marianne Faithful - seems right age, occupation and location but who knows ...

I can't see any resemblance at all. The mystery lady has different shaped eyes, a longer nose, a wider mouth with lips not so full.

I still think the style of dress is closer to 50s.  If this was taken in the 1960s, it was early in the decade.

I agree with Sloe Gin...the hairstyles of the 60s was very different, the look reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in 1950s.

Marianne Faithfull always had long hair.  She still has even now.  Also she wasn't born until 1946, so was only 14 in 1960.  She used to hang around with The Rolling Stones andshe released a record in 1964 that made her more famous.  That and the drug busts with the Stones I suppose.

I don't recall what date the OP's picture was but do recall Marianne Faithful having very short hair in the early years - checked the web and there's dozens of pic's of her with that "urchin look" or just very short hair.

Ok, there are a few photos of Marianne Faithfull with short hair, but mainly she has long hair.  Here's a photo of her with short hair.  It's definitely not the girl in the original photograph.  As I said before, Marianne Faithful was born in 1946, so was only 14 in 1960 and only 19 in 1965 and I thought the OP said the photo was taken early 1960s.

What a nice job you have done patval on the photo  :)

For me, I think it is likely Marion Ryan. Found a photo of Marion Ryan with a more comparable angle of her face when close up to the image we have. I see very strong similarities in particular with the line of the eyebrows, eyes and width of nose.

Fascinating thread and I can offer a new name, at least, I don't think she's been mentioned.
Can't remember much about her but she burst into fame about that time and, I think, faded just as quickly. I'll leave it to the experienced searchers to try and find her. She was called Sabrina.
