It's everyone's favorite juvenile delinquent, Mamie Van Doren.
This queen of the high school B-movie always played the rock and roll girl
who couldn't say no...the girl who never wanted to! In movies like "High
School Confidential" (1958) and "Girls
Town" (1959), Doren made movie screens everywhere
smolder. She, along with the likes of Marilyn
Monroe and Jayne Mansfield,
helped define the image of the blonde bombshell. No wonder Doren
was a favorite cheesecake model for men's magazines of the 50's and 60's.
The most impressive
thing about Doren is her longevity. She stuck around after
the blonde bombshell craze fizzled and just kept going. She's still active
today running her own website, www.MamieVanDoren.com,
and even doing nude pin-up shots! And for a gal of her age, she can still
make heads turn. No wonder she is a pop culture icon...and one of our favorite
Femme Fatales!
