Divine Perrine

The screen life of a sexy actress can go by in the blink of an eye- but occasionally they will appear in a film or two that will never seem to stop appearing on television. This is the case of Valerie Perrine. In the 70s and 80s, she was a staple sex-bomb chosen to play those hard-working babes (or gals working hard to keep that meal ticket) but Perrine projected a lady with smarts and determination beyond her curvy exterior.

She began her film career playing a soft-core porn actress Montana Wildhack in Slaughterhouse-Five (1972).
The Texas-raised Army brat turned Las Vegas showgirl turned Hollywood sexpot was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for the 1974 film "Lenny" and a Razzie for the 1980 Village People bomb "Can't Stop the Music."



She shined as Miss Eve Teschmacher - Lex Luthor's moll with a conscience in Superman (1978) and returned in the role for Superman II (1981). That year Ms. Perrine was on the cover of Playboy. Valerie never married- her fiancee, a wealthy Los Angeles playboy and gun collector whom she met while a Las Vegas showgirl, accidentally shot himself to death after a gun discharged in a tragic gun accident a month before their wedding.



During the filming of the first Superman in London, Perrine was dating millionaire playboy Dodi Fayed. She partied with the best of them (as in Alan Carr presents! piles of coke !!) and even dated Mick Jagger. One of her other ex-lovers "Love At First Bite" & "Mr. Mom" director Stan Dragoti served time in a German prison for cocaine possession. (He was also the ex- Mr Cheryl Tiegs).



Perine co-starred in the **always on cable TV** film "Maid to Order" with Ally Sheedy in 1987, and still continues to make the occasional public appearance at age 67. She was last seen on the big screen looking dynamite at age 57 in Mel Gibson's What Women Want (2000).



fun facts:
-------
Perrine has appeared on the covers of both Playboy and Playgirl.



Perrine told Playboy magazine in 1981 that she had her brass bed reinforced so her 4 large-breed dogs could sleep with her. Her dogs include Ching (Great Dane), Thurbur (Mastif), Oscar (Great Dane), Sasha (Mix) and Muffy (Great Dane).

Perrine said she experimented with many drugs including acid, mescaline, cocaine and opium.



Perrine is 5' feet 7.5" tall with measurements 38-24-35. A veteran Las Vegas showgirl, Perrine said she felt "dressed" in just a G-string and sent a photo of herself clad in one to Bob Fosse to help him recover from one of his heart attacks.

here is Valerie in 2010. Looking Great, Lady!

Soup du Jour! (WITHOUT cheesecake!)

I'm tired of posting clips of our dearly departed! PLEASE, will Death take a holiday, already!

They took down Soupy's surprise(s)! So here's another one:

Russ Meyer's THE SEVEN MINUTES (1971)

Here it is in a nutshell, featuring Charles Napier, John Carradine, Edy Williams, Tom Selleck, Wolfman Jack, Olan Soule (voice of Batman on The Superfriends), Yvonne Decarlo, and the bodice busting bombshells Shawn 'Baby Doll' Devereaux (cocktease in a yellow dress) and Yvonne D'Angers (who goes from unsatisfied sexpot to rape victim in the same scene).

Who ARE You?

Guess who's staying with me this weekend?

That's right! The only and only Miss Tura Satana. I thought it would be fun to do a little "Ask Tura" feature. Post 'em here in the comments section - Friday is the deadline - and we will answer them over the weekend. She in town promoting her new film, "SugarBoxx," in which she costars with Kitten Natividad and Jack Hill! Here's the trailer:

Prevues of Womanly Attractions. Knockers included.

I'm tuned in. And on.

A medley of machinery, letters.. and Underwear!

Dusting off an old Valentine from Farrah

If Venus the Goddess of Love could be your house guest this weekend, she may very well, look like Farrah Fawcett in all her world weary glory – as seen in her wonderful 1997 Playboy video special called All of Me.

Farrah’s All of Me is up there with The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield in terms of hysterical sexploitation, tragic self promotion, and delusional sexpot past her prime narrating her inner most thoughts for viewers to understand her wild, wild SEXY! world.

The DVD begins with an A&E Biography-type spin through Farrah's wholesome Texas childhood and her step by step career transformation into that 1970s TV / poster superstar we all loved. Plus you get commentary by stylist Jose Eber, sleepy Hugh Hefner, and that loquacious lesbian: Camille Paglia.

Then comes a section documenting the photo sessions for Farrah's mid-90s Playboy photo spreads (this was Playboy promo after all), where Farrah tells us why she chose to do Playboy as she approached age 50 (strangely, cocaine and mounting debts are never mentioned); by the end of the St. Bart's shoot, Farrah crumbles into psycho-drama tears and phones an unknown intimate (maybe the creepy ex-BF who reportedly bashed her head in?) to report, ''I don't like my body, I don't like my hair.'' He apparently assures her that she's sexy and Farrah shares that she drank coconut milk that morning. Genius.

Next we see Farrah - the lifelong fine artist sculpting a female form in clay which she ends up rubbing all over her naked body. She next attacks a large canvas and paints an abstract with those famous pert nipples.

For the guys who were turned on by her naked art lesson, there is a brief interlude (providing time to grab a tissue) where they recap her important acting roles in Extremities (on stage in 1983 and on screen in 1986) where her character is assaulted by a man and she gets revenge by imprisoning him in a fireplace, and in 1984's TV-movie The Burning Bed in which her character is assaulted by a man and she gets revenge by setting him on fire.

Finally, the specia-mercial ends with Farrah’s exotic performance piece of reciting Song of Solomon in her whispery ingénue way while wearing a black dominatrix wig. She takes a final bow and her robe opens to reveal more nakedness. Cut and Print.

Orgy of the Dead

I know folks have covered it before (well, I know Percy Trout has and I was compelled to post the Cat Dance clip myself a while back), but I decided to enhance my day by putting together a few found screen grabs, the book, the soundtrack and the Cat Dance clip here for everyone else to enjoy once more.
If you click the Soundtrack cover below a download link will open in a new browser window.



While waiting for the download you can listen to -
I Am Criswell
A Pussycat Is Born To Be Whipped

Mavis Martini is currently preparing a lecture on Ed Wood's literary classic for the next book club meeting...


These screen grabs were found over at Poletti's fickr photostream (his collection is impressive).






Those whose lives have been directly influenced by Criswell already knew this was going to happen.

The Female Bunch

Starring Russ 'rotten bastard' Tamblyn (did he mention this one Donna?) and Lon Chaney Jr!

The Doll Squad

They may not be Moon Dolls or come from the Valley or Beyond, but these super violent Dolls know how to assault the senses (and anyone who stands in their way), and look good doing it. You even get a few glimpses of Donna's pal.

PS from DL: DREAMS DO COME TRUE! It's playing here next week!

Bad Mothers! Part II

Teenage mother means nine months of trouble!

There's nothing I can add to this. It's perfect.

Trailer Park

It is rare that I get excited about a movie based on the trailer, but I can't wait for ZOMBIE STRIPPERS to be released. From the trailer, I can gather that it has two plot devices that I really enjoy in cinema:

1) Zombies

2) Strippers

I know that this movie will probably suck, but what a concept! You just know Ed Wood is smiling down from Heaven.

More Quizzes!

Mark and I are just in that game-show mood. IMDB's keywords are so off the beam - not on the level of Amazon-reader reviews, but strangely random and bizarre.

Guess this Oscar-winning film:
