When I was a kid and I saw her in One Million BC I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

[@lonniebarriner570]

I hope that She is Resting in Peace. :-)

[@srvuk]

She was most certainly one of the top 1970's pin-ups. It is shame that her star didn't shine for very long as she also seemed a highly capable actress.

[@RJS1974]

She made 30 films. I think she had a good ten year run in movies from 1967 to 1976. That’s pretty stellar. She always retained her legend status long after her film career ended.

though rolled up till the early 2000s.
