Former pin-up girl, Chairman of the Board-squeeze, and B-movie star of Guns Don't Argue and The Monster of Piedras Blancas Jeanne Carmen died of lymphoma Thursday at the age of 77. Her groundbreaking efforts in the busty blonde arts paved the way for our current generation of panty-allergic starlets. [Yahoo]
I remember the Monster of Piedras Blancas, too. One of the few "gillman" knock-offs trying to compete with the Creature from the Black Lagoon—excuse me, African-American Lagoon.
I loved The Monster of Piedras Blancas as a child. He carried a severed head down the street in one scene! So cool. Bye Jeanne....
Is this the same Jeanne who spent a good part of the '80's and '90's claiming she was BFF with Marilyn Monroe in 1962?
If so, I guess she and Robert Slatzer can now get together and spin more yarns about MM that never happened...
