However the image isn’t of Mary Killen. In fact it shows model Susan Shaw. A reverse image search reveals that the photo was taken in the 1970s, with the photographer Tim Graham credited.

There are a number of other photos showing the same model, Susan Shaw, available online.

As such, no, the photo does not show Mary Killen.
