It might not seem like much of an honor to play Millie in a sexploitation flick called Cherry, Harry & Raquel! (1970) — simple math dictates that you’re guaranteed fourth billing at best. Then take into account that the immortal skinstress known as Uschi Digard is attached to the pic. Any young actress (no matter how much she’s worth her flesh) may realize her nude debut is likely to be overshadowed by Ms. Digard’s double Ds! Yet ebony ingénue Michelle Grand was up for the task. At the risk of being introduced (and just as quickly forgotten), she agreed to strut her stuff in the buff! Under the direction of producer Russ Meyer (known for his attention to titillating talent), the dark and lovely Ms. Grand was given ample opportunity to make a grand entrance onscreen. During a skintillating scene in a doctor’s office, the black beauty touts her acting chops as well as her full frontal nudity! Once a nurse instructs her to take a shower, we get to peek at Michelle’s perky peaks. If that’s not hot enough, the naked knockout shows off her fluffy muff. It’s a temporary state since the nurse prepares to shave the pretty patient — which seems bizarre considering the movie takes place in the au naturale seventies! Alas, Cherry, Harry & Raquel! marked Ms. Grand’s one and only sojourn into cinematic territory. Even so, Mr. Skin has a soft place in his heart (and a hard place in his pants) for this skintastic actress!
