Elvis Presley musicals, beach romps, biker flicks, and alienated
youth movies were some of the most popular types of drive-in films
during the sixties. The actresses interviewed for this book
(including Celeste Yarnall, Lana Wood, Linda Harrison, Pamela
Tiffin, Deanna Lund, Diane McBain, Judy Pace, and Chris Noel) all
made their mark in these genres. These fantastic femmes could be
found either twisting on the shores of Malibu, careening down the
highway on a chopper, being serenaded by Elvis, or taking on the
establishment as hip coeds. As cult figures, they contributed
greatly to that period of filmmaking aimed at the teenage audience
who frequented the drive-ins of America.They frolicked, screamed,
and danced their way into B-movie history in such diverse films as
Eve, Teenage Millionaire, The Girls on the Beach, Dr. Goldfoot and
the Bikini Machine, Three in the Attic, Wild in the Streets, and
Paradise, Hawaiian Style. This book is a celebration of the
actresses' careers. They have for the most part been overlooked in
other publications documenting the history of film. Fantasy Femmes
addresses their film and television careers, focusing on their view
of the above genres, their candid comments and anecdotes about
their films, the people they worked with, and their feelings in
general regarding their lives and the choices they made. The book
is well illuminated and contains a complete list of film and
television credits.
