Jo Ann Harris - sexy kitten from the 70's


Girls were so hot in the 70's with real bodies and looks. Jo Ann Harris and Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave) two 70's babes I recently watched are so damn hot compared to what we get now. Did the luscious miss Harris ever do anything else of note?

Well according to his Wikipedia entry, she did have an affair with Mr Eastwood probably sometime around the making of this film.

Oh, yes. I was a pre-adolescent boy fascinated by '70s vixens Angie Dickenson (check her out in 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin), Sondra Locke, Jane Seymour, Kim Hunter, Susan George (Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry, Straw Dogs) and even as a 10 year-old I knew these women would wreck a man's life but it would be totally worth it. And those TV hotties like Barbara Eden, Barbara Feldon, Gail Fisher (Mannix), Lee Meriwether (Barnaby Jones). I still think about 'em. Yes, they WERE that hot!!!:-)

Sondra Locke?

Ha! My thoughts exactly (about Locke).

Gail Fisher huh

Mannix's secretary. TV detective show, 1970's.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I read the previous post. Old Clint should had some strange tastes in women. He's had a couple of hotties, his first and his latest are good examples, but he had some real skanky looking ones in between. Sondra Locke ...... pasty, crack looking yucky girl. Francis Fisher? Put a bag over her face!! In this movie, Jo Ann Harris, hottie all the way, but Geraldine Page and Elizabeth Hartman?? Very good actresses, but their faces would have curdled milk!!

So what if he didn't go for just blue-eyed blondes? It showed that he didn't let Hollywood standards of what was considered "hot" back then dictate who he went with. And so what if Page and Hartman weren't conventionally Hollywood beauties? Who cares? Page in particular was a damn fine actress, especially when she was playing the hell out of a villainous role---check out the thriller WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE? as proof. Hartman's work I haven't seen enough of, but she was pretty good in her star-making debut, A PATCH OF BLUE, with Sidney Poitier, and got a nomination for it--she could act,too---sad how her later life turned out,though.

Well Sondra could act -Heart Is A Lonely Hunter and quite good in Outlaw Josey Wales. I guess if you had an affair with Clint your career was toast? Frances Fisher.

Harris made a few B grade sexploitation films back in the day. With a little Googling you can find clips of them with her naked, if that's what you're looking for.

She was a classic nymphet, no doubt.
