PATTI WAGGIN publicity photograph

 

Patti Waggin was one of the most popular burlesque dancers of the fifties, and was magnificently often billed as "The Co-ed with the Educated Torso". An athletic character, Patti was also a regular face at Californian bike gatherings, riding a Harley Davidson Little Indian.

Joan Bradshaw publicity photograph

Despite this almost iconic 1957 shoot with Earl Leaf, Texas-born model Joan Bradshaw never converted her impressive body into an equally impressive body of work. She racked up just ten largely uncredited bit parts in a six-year acting career before turning to the girly mags, and retired in 1963 after getting hitched to a very lucky film producer.
