I just learned that the babe in the movie "Angry Red Planet" was a 1954 Playboy playmate. Does anyone know of any "good" films she's been in (if you get my drift) :thumbsup: Amazon has a few listed but doesn't say how big a part she has in it.

A playboy playmate in a low budget movie? Who woulda thunk it? I'm old enough to remember when posters would trumpet that fact, "with playboy playmate (insert name here) as Hundra!".

I remember Hunter as a curvy redhead, but don't remember her in anything besides Angry Red Planet.

But, according to the imdb:

Playboy Playmate of the Month August 1954

Measurements: 38-24-35 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)

Arline (or Arlene, as her name was often spelled at the time) is perhaps best known today as the star of the 1950s era nudie short, "Apple Knockers and Coke," a role that has been frequently (and erroneously) attributed to Marilyn Monroe.

And based on these titles on the imdb, certainly should mine a few good shots:

Casanova's Big Night (1954) (uncredited) .... Girl in window
... aka Mr. Casanova (USA)
Baghdad After Midnight (1954) (as Arlene Hunter)


Strip Tease College Girls (1948) .... Betty
A Virgin in Hollywood (1948)
... aka Hollywood Confidential (USA: reissue title)
... aka Should a Girl Say Yes? (USA)
... aka The Side Streets of Hollywood



Filmography as: Actress, Herself, Archive Footage

Herself - filmography

The Art of Burlesque (1968) .... Herself
... aka Striptease College

I'm a bit confused here. Are you perhaps thinking of Nora (or Naura) Hayden? She was the redheaded babe in The Angry Red Planet. IIRC, she turned down an offer to pose nude for Playboy. She recently wrote a sex book or something.

Arline Hunter? Her I never heard of.

You mean you never saw her break-out performance in Strip Tease College Girls ? Obviously no cinephile. And obviously I shouldn't have assumed from Mac's post Arline Hunter was the redhead in ARP.

No, I just said that there was a babe in the movie that Arline played a role in.

According to imdb, she played the part of "Joan".
I was looking for any movies where she played a larger role and was asking if anyone actually watched any movies that she did that might be listed on amazon or someplace. I'd hate to buy a movie and find out that her role only lasted a few seconds. I'm basically building up my dvd collection of various sex symbols such as Marilyn, Jane Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, etc. Any movie that has a playmate from the 50s and 60s is a wanna-get on my list..

Any movie that has a playmate from the 50s and 60s is a wanna-get on my list..Then you'd better break open that piggy bank! You'll want every film with Stella Stevens, Yvette Vickers, June Wilkinson, Claudia Jennings, Donna Michelle, the Collinson twins (Maltese-born Playmates who were in one or two horror movies), and, of course, the queen of made-for-cable action-adventure and soft-porn flicks -- the incomparable Shannon Tweed!

Addendum: I just realized that Shannon Tweed was Playmate of the Year for 1982, and you're only interested in movies featuring Playmates from the 1950s and ’60s, i.e. the years B.S. (Before Silicone). Can't say I blame you.

Oh Yea, I got this baby....as well as a couple of more Russ Meyer films.

There are quite a few movies with playmates, just wondering which are worth buying since I was too young to see them in the theaters. This one was an obvious buy.
