Glamour a-go-go! Hearts Ann-Margret

 

Ann-Margret + hot pink fur = fabulous!

I really want to see more of her Sixties films such as Kitten With A Whip (1964), The Pleasure Seekers (1964), The Swinger (1966), and Made In Paris (1966).

Blonde bombshell Dorothy Stratten (1960-1980) was a Canadian model and actress. After appearing in Playboy Magazine as Miss August 1979, she was subsequently named Playboy's Playmate Of The Year in 1980. Her screen credits include the 1980 sci-fi cult classic Galaxina and They All Laughed (1981), a film directed by her lover, Peter Bogdanovich. On the verge of major stardom, Dorothy was tragically killed by her estranged husband, Paul Snider, in a brutal murder-suicide on August 14, 1980. Sadly, she was only 20 years old at the time of her death. In 1983, Dorothy was portrayed by Mariel Hemingway in the excellent biopic Star 80.

That's a whole lot of sexy in one photograph!

Icon: Ewa Aulin

I'm currently smitten with Swedish-born actress Ewa Aulin, who is best known for playing the title role in the 1968 psychedelic sex comedy, Candy. (If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a copy of this movie, do watch it!) During the 1960s and early 1970s, she also appeared in a handful of Italian horror films that I have yet to see. What a doll!

Icon: Jane Asher

British actress and Beatle's girlfriend Jane Asher was the reigning redhead of the Swinging London scene in the 1960s. I love her unique sense of personal style.

Icon: Marisa Mell (1939-1992)

I've recently discovered Eurobabe extraordinare Marisa Mell. Last night I watched Perversion Story (a.k.a. One On Top Of The Other) (1969), which is an Italian erotic murder mystery set in San Francisco, complete with fabulous mod 60s fashions and swinging strippers! Mell plays a scantily clad seductress named Monica Weston. Perversion Story also stars the lovely Elsa Martinelli and French actor, Jean Sorel. This film is definitely one worth checking out!

Icon: Barbara Parkins

Anne Welles has always been my least favorite Valley Of The Dolls character, but Barbara Parkins brought a much needed sense of glamour and sophistication to the role.

An interesting bit of trivia: Barbara was Sharon Tate's maid of honor in her wedding to Roman Polanski. She even caught the bridal bouquet!
