Mr. Skin Bids Farewell to Roberta Collins

Claudia Jennings. Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith. Candice Rialson. And, now, Roberta Collins.

Those four ferocious-yet-vulnerable blonde beauties burned incandescently and indelibly in the most inventive, innovative, and oftentimes most absolutely insane low-budget cult sensations of the 1970s.

And, alas, now they have all departed this mortal coil. Roberta’s leaving was reported by legendary filmmaker Jack Hill and he is a more-than-fitting messenger. Hill directed the flaxen powder-keg in The Big Doll House -- just one in a series of Roberta’s screen-scorchers.

New Jersey’s powerhouse softcore studio struck B-movie gold when it tapped into the electrifying, A-cupped mega-star wattage of petite, doe-eyed, porcelain-skinned beauty Misty Mundae.

Graduating from underground rough-sex shorts when she was still just a teen, Misty immediately catapulted Seduction Cinema to the (full-frontal) front of modern sexploitation in breakout smashes such as Play-Mate of the Apes, Gladiator Eroticus, and Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the String.

Misty starred in more nudie flicks in the early 21st century than any sane human would attempt to tally up with his one free hand. Ass-tonishingly, she elevates each one to must-see status. Fans of outlaw cinema had not seen so incandescent a siren since the halcyon drive-in days of Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith, Claudia Jennings, and Candice Rialson.

Even more amazing is Misty’s obvious intelligence and wit, coupled with talents that include writing, directing, and composing music.

Alas, a performer of Misty’s super-luminous caliber cannot be confined to low-budget, heavy-breathing productions, and she has moved on to mainstream work such as Showtime’s Masters of Horror series.

But we’ll always have Misty’s back catalog to bow down before and worship. Join Mr. Skin now in a video tribute to some of her very breast efforts. more…
