Jennifer North is the ultimate 1960s glamourpuss

alongside Sharon Tate, had only one thing to say whencalled in December last year to interview her about the film: “I almost fell out of my seat. I’m telling you, I just kept laughing and laughing. It was what it was. And here you are, phoning me 50 years later to talk about this piece of shit.” Certainly, critic Roger Ebert concurred with Grant, announcing it to be “a dirty soap opera capable of the most offensive and appalling vulgarity ever thrown up by any civilisation.

The three protagonists, Neely O’Hara , Anne Welles and Jennifer North – played by Tate just two years before her infamously tragic murder at the hands of the Manson Family – are dripping in lurex, lacquered with hairspray and slathered with Pan Stik. Not to mention their ample sets of fluttering false lashes that defied aerodynamic laws, causing the women to take flight with each bat of their lids .

Other choice ensembles include a white beaded shift dress, to which Neely astutely points out “she looks lovely, I bet 100 beads pop off every time she moves,” a floral one-piece in which she performs her ‘bust firming’ exercises, and an acid green and psychedelic purple poolside look, tasselled earrings and all.

. The film’s producers originally wanted to cast Raquel Welch as Jennifer but she refused, not wanting to play a ‘sexpot’. More fool her.“In the common imagination... they have come to represent the actual women: women so bound up in sex and money and performance that they seem in themselves to be some sort of heady, rare narcotic,” wrote Julie Birchill of the characters in.
