Paula Prentiss always looked like if the girl next doorhad a naughty secret. This smiling brunette has always had a cheery demeanor and a slender body that can make any man just as cheerful. From her beautiful smile to her perky rack, Paula has always had a special place in Mr. Skin's heart which is why she is the subject of today's #TBT.
Paula made her debut in the classic comedy Where the Boys Are (1960) which cemented her as a comedic cutie. She started letting her own raunchy sense of humor come to the forefront like when she played a go-go girl inWhat's New, Pussycat?.Her role was controversial because this was a time in Hollywood where nudity was still very limited. Filmmakers would get fined for breaking the nude rules, so her striptease performance labeled the film as 'adult's only' entertainment.
She didn't stop teasing movie-goers there! She actually ended up taking even more clothes off for the war comedy Catch-22 which showed her completely nude from head to toe in broad daylight.
Paula got a little tamer in later films, but her pokies always managed to shine through like in TheStepford Wives where her sexy seventies bosom is on display in several tight tops. Paula can't keep those puppies from being ogled at!
She has since put nudity and on-screen acting behind her. She and her husband Richard Benjamin spend their time making corporate videos instead. How about a corporate adult-themed video, Paula? For old time's sake? Until that day comes, we'll have to honor Paula with a very stiff salute on this Throwback Thursday.
