They always had an endless supply of male and female models. Its Hollywood so there's no surprise there.
I don't remember the name of the studio but the year was around 1972.

This is interestng, but if you see the film [Model Shop] this isn't quite the idea of the "shop" in the movie. In the film the patrons come in, select a model and go off to a room and for a period of time can take photos of the model they've selected. (In the film no one is nude, if I recall.) The shop makes money for renting the room, and cameras and film. It's not an agency of any kind. I was wondering if anyone had heard of one of these "Model Shop's" or any such set-ups like this before? In any city. It's quite intriguing.
Of course nowadays it's all selfies!

P.S.: I keep forgetting to mention, Don Draper goes to see this movie in one
of last year's Season 7/Part 1, Mad Men episodes.
