Bombshells: Mara Corday
Born Marilyn Joan Watts on January 30, 1930 in Santa Monica, California, Mara Corday was an American showgirl, model, actress, Playboy Playmate and, as Wikipedia says, a “1950s cult figure.” That’s probably thanks to Playboy and the various westerns, horror, and science fiction B-movies she made during the fifties.

The ‘Ooops’ and its Jean Harlow naughty-girl reading come early in the film and the rest of Hathaway’s performance seems to … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises
Lost and Found: Angels of the City
Welcome back to the Lost and Found sweet spot, friends! You know what that means—we’re back on the gritty and glittering streets of Los Angeles, circa 1990, with hot prostitutes (or, in this case, hot college girls pretending to be hot prostitutes) and dangerous pimps in tow—meaning we have all the ingredients for primo late … Continue reading Lost and Found: Angels of the City
