Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was way ahead of its time with the use of SFX make-up and storytelling.

And Ola Ray - who starred in the Grammy Award-winning 1983 short music film as hitmaker MJ's girlfriend aged 23 - has managed to maintain her youthful looks, despite now being 60-years-old.

In snaps seen on the former Playboy Playmate's Instagram page, she flaunts her age-defying looks and trendy style.

The bombshell may be in her 60s but that has not stopped her showcasing her enviable figure in sexy ensembles.

One snap on her feed shows her trim shape dressed in a gold sequin gown as she beams at an event.

Another proves she is not scared of risky fashion choices as she flashes her red bra whilst posing on a purple chair.

She continued her look in the offering with over the knee boots and decorated her neck with a thick black choker.

The model has 9,105 followers on the social media platform and her bio reads: "Former model and actress. Living life one day at a time, i love my family & stay tunned for my upcoming book." (sic).

Ola previously complained about not being rewarded royalties from the famous Thriller video - that saw her portray Michael's love interest.

Ola told the Sunday Mirror in 2008: "Everyone thinks I made millions, but I don't care. I wouldn't change a thing."

The following year she reportedly actioned a lawsuit against Michael in a bid to get the royalties but he died months after.

In 2012 The Michael Jackson Family Trust settled the lawsuit for a reported $75,000 (£57k), according to TMZ, with $55,000 (£42k) going to her and the rest to her legal team.

Beat It star Michael was inspired to make the Thriller music video into a sensational spectacular after seeing An American Werewolf in London in 1981.

He reached out to director John Landis and asked him to film his video, the creative duo also co-wrote the video storyline.
