Melody an original Victoria’s Secret catalog model, then a co-star on Manimal… but it was her role as Dale Arden in Flash Gordon that she’s perhaps best known. She was a botany student, but wasn’t known for her vast knowledge of plants – but rather her cleavage accentuating clothing. Peri Brown was a companion to the Fifth and Sixth Doctors. This Roger Corman flick is a blast to watch, possibly due in part to a screenplay by John Sayles (Eight Men Out) and special effects by James Cameron (Titanic, Avatar, Piranha II)…. That’s Darlanne Fluegel on the left, but the one we’re concerned with is warrior queen, Sybil Danning, whose costumes seem to have a difficult time containing her.

The show was cancelled after only 7 episodes.ġ8. There was only one problem – the show just wasn’t very funny (Not a good quality in a comedy). The Barnstables played Betty I and Betty II on the short lived TV series Quark, a show that had everything going for it: (1) science fiction was the rage thanks to Star Wars, (2) the writer was none other than Buck Henry and (3) it featured the smoking hot former Doublemint Twins.

I’ve never seen the original 1957 Roger Corman film – something tells me they’re similar in name only. But it’s Traci Lords big leap to the mainstream from porn, so it deserves some love. Even judged from a purely T&A perspective, it still falls short. Make no mistake: this is not a good movie.

But it’s Dorothy Stratten, so it gets to cut in line. Yes, Galaxina was a devastating disappointment, and yes, there’s precious little to see of Dorothy in it.
