Whipped Cream Difficulties

Salli Sachse, actress. Other credits include “The Million Eyes of Sumuru” (which we watched in the MST3K Season 13 version), “Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine”, “The Wild Weird World of Dr. Goldfoot”, and…

…her final credit before she retired in 1969 is an episode of “Mannix”. (“The Girl Who Came in with the Tide”, season 2, episode 17.)

June Wilkinson.

A pinup queen as well as a screen temptress, Ms. Wilkinson carved out a thriving side career posing topless in men’s magazines with titles like Girl Watcher and Fling Festival. She also became something of a mascot for Playboy, appearing in the magazine seven times (although never as a Playmate of the Month centerfold).

Inevitably, she was a magnet for the breast-obsessed director Russ Meyer, who photographed her for the magazine and was intent on casting her in his 1959 sexploitation comedy, “The Immoral Mr. Teas.”
Because she was signed to a different production company, Ms. Wilkinson was not contractually allowed to appear in the film. Even so, her bare breasts did, visible in a torso-only window shot in an uncredited appearance she made as a favor to the director. Keen-eyed aficionados of her form were not fooled, she later observed: “I guess breasts are like fingerprints; there are no two alike.”
