I have been a big fan of her. I spoke with a friend who emailed this; "..... of course it has been touch and go for a while now and the strokes kept coming til they got the best of her..... It was hard on her and all of us and I think she gave up. I miss her dearly .......she was very very giving and loving person. She made sure everyone had food to eat and she love to cook especially Pot Roast......

She was so hot. I saw the desert background of this movie poster as a kid and wondered if it had quicksand. I was so distracted as a kid.

She was a genuine orignal. She made it cool to be big, tough, bad, and hot. I've always been grateful to Russ Meyer for making her known.

Wow! Are you a Russ Meyer fan as well? Those are some cool shots of the cast, I would guess that they are publicity or promo pic.

Thank you for these additions, here is the link to her web page. http://www.turasatana.com I had neglected to include this on my previous post.

Now there's ONE actress who I would have liked to see do a sink!
I guess I will have to be happy with the wet fight in "Faster...."
Sad that she's gone :-(
