English bombshell Vera Day (August 4, 1935) was once touted as Britain’s answer to Marilyn Monroe. The absurdly photogenic and stunningly buxom blonde was certainly a looker during her prime acting years in the 1950s. Like many bombshells, Day eventually segued out of acting, but reappeared over the years here and there, most notably in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998).

Usually typecast as glamorous and ditzy blondes, Day earned a rare starring role in the deliciously goofy B-movie The Woman Eater (1958), which her IMDb page describes as, “a rather ludicrous low-budget horror offering about a carnivorous tree and (of course) a mad scientist (played by George Coulouris). Little is remembered about this film, except for Vera’s tight-fitting sweater and bullet bra.”

Vera Day and her bodacious bombshell qualities certainly did leave an impact on celluloid history.









As she has many times over, our Gal Friday Yvette dug this Bombshell post out from deep within the Lounge’s vault, and for that we’re grateful.

Yvette: “Ze Woman Eater,” you say? Très drôle, zat was my nickname during my semester abroad in ze US, at Smith College. Ah, ze memories.
Thank you, Yvette, for that rather sapphic mental image.
I’m not familiar with this British bombshell beauty, but she looks like a scene stealer for sure. I’ll check out her IMDb filmography.
And I’ve nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger award
