Wow. Though of course as a young'n, outside of stills in other people's PLAYBOYs, I was mostly aware of her through the GET SMART! film THE NUDE BOMB.

Odd how this kind of bulletin makes one sort of "jump" without actually jumping...

Wasn't she in one of those Airport movies--or am I thinking of Sybil Danning?
