They weren’t the only ones, either. June and Cherry Preisser were a couple of bendy little blonde tricks from New Orleans (their mother was a Landrieu, of the political clan). They made it all the way to the Ziegfeld Follies in the mid '30s.

June was a gymnast from age 2(!), but is best known for trying to woo Mickey Rooney away from Judy Garland in the _Andy Hardy_ movies. So ootsy-cutesy you wanted to slap her, but _hot._

You know, if that Judy Garland movie had been SF or even fantasy, I’d be tempted to nominate it in the thread titled, “Has anybody ever done a REALLY good job of mixing SF and porn?”
