Timeline

1944

Samantha Juste (born Sandra Slater; 31 May 1944 – 5 February 2014) was a British model and television presenter who appeared in the mid-1960s as the "disc girl" on the BBC television programme Top of the Pops.

1945

The drummer Micky Dolenz (b. 1945) recalled (in the third person) that he spotted Juste as he passed a studio cafeteria:"She is tall, blond[e], beautiful, and wearing an emerald green outfit that ends up in a short skirt (very short) which tops off her unbelievably gorgeous legs ... She holds his glance briefly then looks quickly away with that haughty sophistication that only the British can do so well."

Juste and Dolenz began a relationship, prompting such headlines as "Samantha traps Monkee" and "Pops girl goes ape".

Dolenz appears not to have realised that Juste was a celebrity and the publicity took him by surprise.

"Monkeemania" was such that some of the Monkees' female fans resented Juste – "she even showed up one day with ink stains on the emerald green dress" – and Dolenz claimed the couple spent a week in her London flat.

1960

During Top of the Pops, Juste met artists who contributed to the British rock boom of the mid-1960s.

1964

It was first broadcast from Dickenson Road Studios, a converted church in Rusholme, Manchester, on 1 January 1964.

Samantha Juste was assistant to Cecil Korer, the programme's assistant producer.

After the first few episodes, Juste replaced Denise Sampey.

For three-and-a-half years, she sat alongside the host – initially disc jockeys Jimmy Savile, David Jacobs, Alan Freeman and Pete Murray – to place records on a turntable and apply the stylus as the artist was about to perform.

1965

Juste appeared briefly in the 1965 Swinging London film The Knack ...and How to Get It, directed by Richard Lester, and also released a single the following year.

1966

Simon Dee, who first introduced the show in 1966, recalled that "I got my introduction right [and] didn't get too distracted by the luscious Samantha Juste, my lovely co-host".

Some viewers found Juste's ritual incongruous, since the artists were ostensibly there to perform.

However, they were miming, something of which the BBC made little secret.

On one occasion, a record by The Swinging Blue Jeans was played at the wrong speed.

She was one of two British women signed to Strike Records – whose first single and only "hit", Neil Christian's "That's Nice", was issued in February 1966 – and its subsidiary Go.

(The other was Jacki Bond, a secretary with Strike, who like Juste, had little musical experience. )

Juste performed No One Needs My Love Today, written by Phil Phillips, on Top of the Pops on 24 November 1966.

The record was produced by Miki Dallon.

"No One Needs My Love Today" was not a hit, but it was featured as a climber by the offshore "pirate" station Radio London in the week beginning 20 November 1966.

One critic commented that "any vocal shortcomings on this single are outweighed by her charming delivery".

Both "No One Needs My Love Today" and its B-side, Pierre Tubbs' "If Trees Could Talk", were available on compilation discs and to download forty years later.

1967

The backing music was provided by an orchestra conducted by Ken Woodman, who had worked with Chris Andrews and Sandie Shaw, and is best known for "Town Talk", which became the theme tune of The Jimmy Young Show when BBC Radio 1 launched in 1967.

In January 1967, the American group The Monkees, formed for an eponymous television series, reached the top of the British charts with "I'm a Believer", written by Neil Diamond.

For much of 1967, Juste and Dolenz spent time together in England and the US.

Ric Klein, Dolenz's friend and best man at his wedding, described a holiday with him in England, during which Juste acted as "permanent guide", travelling with them to Stratford-upon-Avon in a rented Triumph car.

Then, a few days later, savouring "Swinging" London:"Micky and I went to the Carlton Towers to see Samantha Juste in a fashion show and she looked outasite. After the show, we took off for Carnaby Street again and we went crazy buying clothes ... Micky really dug all the clothes at Biba's and Susan Lockes and practically bought out the stores. He also bought a dress for Samantha. It was the same dress that Sam wore in the fashion show and it looked fantastic on her."

Juste wrote articles for the teenage magazine 16 about her time with the Monkees.

She gave up Top of the Pops and moved with Dolenz to California, where they lived in Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.

In June 1967, they attended the Monterey Pop Festival.

"Peter Tork [of the Monkees] and Micky turned up at the pop fest in Monterey, Peter acting as one of the emcees [masters of ceremony], Micky wandering around the grounds dressed as an Indian with a lovely British [woman], Samantha Juste, at his side."

1968

In 1968, she married Micky Dolenz of the Monkees.

Their daughter is actress Ami Dolenz.

Sandra Slater was born in Manchester, England, to Leslie Slater and Phyllis, a dressmaker, and studied textile and dress design at Rochdale College of Art.

The long-legged blonde soon became a teenage model and took the name Samantha Juste.

Top of the Pops was a weekly half-hour programme of current popular music, initially conceived and produced by Johnnie Stewart.

Juste and Dolenz were married in July 1968.

Dolenz's stepfather, Dr. Robert Scott, officiated.

The couple's daughter, Ami Bluebell Dolenz, became an actress.

Dolenz and Juste hosted parties attended by musicians and celebrities; Ringo Starr of the Beatles once dubbed Juste "Earth Mother" for her having made him a chip butty and eggs when he arrived after a "rip-roaring all-nighter".
