Forgotten Goddesses of The Grindhouse: Tura Satana

There are few women that make me just stop and look at them, like literally stop whatever I'm doing and just look, and yes, as you sift though the pages here, you will find a good amount that fit into that category, and though some will be insanely beautiful women of the past, and some will be a foreign film star you've probably never heard of, very few, save for maybe Christina Lindberg and Meiko Kaji, will ever be able to match the pure, untouched kick your ass appeal of Tura Satana. Tura, the star of personal favorites The Astro-Zombies and the Russ Meyer Masterwork Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! Two films that just about define all that is the grindhouse era, and if you haven't even seen them shame on you, shame! Anyway, I've always found Tura to be just so perfect, even in her later years she's still got that kick you in the face-ness about her, hopefully i'll get to meet her some day, but for now, enjoy some imagery of her in her days on screen.... oh and btw, yes, 95% of these are from Faster Pussycat, because well, thats all that seems to be out there of her...











Tura in more recent years...

and thats were we're gonna end this, because well, everything else is kind of repeat-y and such...
