During the 1960s, many models, Playboy centerfolds, beauty queens, and Las Vegas showgirls went on to become "decorative actresses" appearing scantily clad on film and television. This well illustrated homage to 72 of these glamour girls reveals their unique stories through individual biographical profiles, photographs, lists of major credits and, frequently, in-depth personal interviews. Included are Edy Williams of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Victoria Vetri of When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, Inga Neilsen of In Like Flint and many equally unforgettable faces of sixties Hollywood.
