Eve Meyer was another one of those gals who made an impact
on the world of glamour both in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes.
She was a Playboy Playmate during the magazine's formative years and had
the talent to easily go from girl-next-door, to bad girl, to sophisticated
vixen. She was a sultry blonde who also had a keen mind when it came to
business. After posing for and marrying glamour photographer Russ
Meyer, the two of them moved into the direction of film. While
Russ
did the filming, she took on the business/distribution side of the Meyer's
film production company. It is because of her that Russ still
holds distribution rights to almost his entire catalogue. Their films help
create and popularize the "nudie cutie" genre. Eve's starring
role in Eve
and the Handyman made her a legend and is a perfect example
of Russ' big, buxom, and beautiful style of film making. Without Eve
Meyer we might have never known the film artistry of her husband
Russ.
Without her, Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!(the
greatest film ever made) might have never been made.
