the babes of MST3K
Having both an unhealthy obsession with classic pin-up style, which is coming back, and Mystery Science Theater 3000, which lives on forever, I've decided to combine my two lusts and create yet another series, this one based around pin-ups of the lovely ladies that starred in the b-movies MST3K skewered so hilariously. I will be taking on every single one of the relevant episodes, in order, because I have problems. Enjoy!
The series begins here.

Susan Hart
"Ohhh! Tasting my daughter, I see! Well, I'll just stare at these curtains."
Girl-next-door cute, and yet undeniably curvy, Susan Hart was one of those '60s starlets who learned how to make the most of her short career. This Washington State native found herself transplanted down the coast to Palm Beach while still in high school, and it was there on the beach that she was discovered by a rep from American International Pictures. The Slime People was actually her first film role; in it, she plays Lisa Galbraith, the older of two Professor's Beautiful Daughters put there to romance the male leads while they attempt to save the city (and the audience) from some kind of deadly, impenetrable fog.
Her combined film/TV career last just over two years, but she helped define the era, starring in AI's biggest and goofiest beach movies, from the Tab Hunter vehicle Ride the Wild Surf to the second of the Annette Funicello beach movies, Pajama Party, and both Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine and its Italian sequel, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs. Soon after, however, she married the studio president, James H. Nicholson, and settled down to raise a family. Upon Nicholson's death in 1973, the plucky Hart took over his current projects, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry and Legend of Hell House, and saw them through, eventually owning over 40 of Nicholson's classic horror films outright. By that time she was on her way to a semi-successful singing career, scoring a minor country hit in 1981 with "Is This a Disco or a Honky Tonk?" She then married Harvard prof Roy Hofheinz (son of the famed Texas pol) and took on a new career as an ice-skater!
