The Resume

    (July 23, 1912-August 10, 2002)
    Directed 'Nude on the Moon,' 'Diary of a Nudist,' 'Blaze Starr Goes Nudist,' 'Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls,' 'Behind the Nudist Curtain,' 'The Prince and the Nature Girl,' 'Bad Girls Go to Hell,' 'Another Day, Another Man,' 'Too Much Too Often!,' 'The Amazing Transplant ,' 'Keyholes are for Peeping,' 'Deadly Weapons,' 'Double Agent 73' and 'A Night to Dismember'

Why she might be annoying:

    Her early nudist films were very modest. The characters would always be holding a newspaper, a towel, a hat, or a purse that they would use to cover their genitals. If they were in the background, they would simply be wearing shorts.
    Her actors would always dub their own dialogue, with some pretty awful synching.
    Some of her films are truly bad...fun but bad.
    She didn't like being called a feminist and refused the title her entire life.
    She filmed some violent rape scenes in the late 60's.
    I imagine watching her film a scene would be like seeing your grandmother yell at a bunch of nude women.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was the female Russ Myers.
    She began making films after her first husband died of a heart attack.
    She knew how to make fun sexploitation films.
    John Waters is a big fan of hers.
    She had a retrospective of her films shown in 1994, sponsored by the Harvard Film Archives.
    Her early work was 'nude but not lewd.'
    She loved making movies and millions of people have loved watching them.
