Cindy Williams

I was thinking...

Cindy Williams has some cult cred.

Williams in Drive, He Said

A post-apocalyptic Roger Corman 1970 black comedy 
Gas-s-s-s.

Jack Nicholson’s 1971 directorial debut Drive, He Said

Beware! The Blob was Larry Hagman’s campy 1973 sequel to The Blob from 1958.

Psychological horror from 1973 The Killing Kind by director Curtis Harrington.

Also in ‘73 was George Lucas’ American Graffiti. She later auditioned for Princess Leah. 

Let’s all take a moment to imagine that alternate reality.

Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation (1974)
with Frederic Forrest

The cult comedy The First Nudie Musical from 1976 received a lot of play on Cinemax in its earliest days. I remember dad getting pissed because Shirley didn’t get naked in it. 


Director Bruce Kimmel later brought Williams in on another of his projects. 1983’s The Creature Wasn’t Nice

It’s... 

An Alien parody musical starring Leslie Nielsen

aka Naked Space

Laverne and Shirley (1976-1983)
with Michael McKean, Penny Marshall, 
David Lander and Leslie Easterbrook 

Cindy Williams, born August 22nd, 1947.
