This weekend managed to bring more sadness for fans of classic movie nudity everywhere, since shortly after the passing of screen legend Karen Black, news broke that cult film star Haji had also headed to the great hereafter. Born Barbarella Catton in Quebec, Canada in 1946, Haji spent her teen years as an exotic dancer before being “discovered” at a topless bar by director/cleavage connoisseur Russ Meyer. The rest is history, with Haji appearing in five of Meyer’s films including the Roger Ebert collaboration Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), and as Tura Satana’s lesbian lover in the bad girl epic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)
Haji’s career hit a lull in the late ‘70s, but she came back as busty as ever for the revivals The Double-D Avenger (2001) and Killer Drag Queens on Dope (2003). News of Haji’s passing was announced on her longtime friend and fellow Meyer muse Kitten Natividad's Facebook page. She will be missed!
