Kitten Natividad<\/a>, Russ Meyer star. (Alt link<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Mr. Meyer also fell for Ms. Natividad, who was married at the time, and they began a relationship that lasted for the rest of the 1970s. And he made her the star of his next movie, which would be his final feature film: \u201cBeneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens\u201d (1979).<\/a>
\nThe movie is often described as Mr. Meyer\u2019s riff on \u201cOur Town\u201d \u2014 for instance, it employed an onscreen narrator named \u201cThe Man From Small Town U.S.A.\u201d Ms. Natividad plays a woman whose husband\u2019s preoccupation with anal sex leaves her sexually frustrated.<\/a>
\nCritics didn\u2019t have much good to say about the movie, which Mr. Meyer wrote with Mr. Ebert.<\/a>
\nGene Siskel of The Chicago Tribune, Mr. Ebert\u2019s television partner on the film review show then known as \u201cSneak Previews,\u201d wrote that Mr. Meyer\u2019s \u201cVixen,\u201d released in 1968, had been \u201can enjoyable nudie film because it featured the first joyfully aggressive woman we\u2019d seen in a skin flick.\u201d But he added, \u201cMeyer hasn\u2019t grown up in 10 years; if anything, he\u2019s deteriorated.\u201d<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…<\/p>\n

In 1973 she won the Miss Nude Universe title in San Bernardino, Calif.<\/a>
\nShe was dancing at the Classic Cat, a club in Hollywood, when a fellow dancer, Shari Eubank, who had starred in the 1975 Meyer film \u201cSupervixens,\u201d suggested she introduce herself to the director. She is said to have done so by poking him in the back with her bare breasts.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…<\/p>\n

After Mr. Meyer\u2019s career died out, Ms. Natividad appeared in numerous other movies, including some hard-core pornography, and had small parts in \u201cAirplane!\u201d (1980), \u201cMy Tutor\u201d (1983) and a few other mainstream films.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

IMDB, probably not safe for work<\/a>. (In case you were wondering: “Bouncy Topless Woman on Plane (uncredited)”. Also “Airplane II” as “Woman in ‘Moral Majority’ Shirt (uncredited)”.)<\/p>\n
