Believe it or not, there's a moment or two in Bo Derek's Tarzan movie that are worth watching and have nothing to do with her being shot in soft focus. These all involve Richard Harris.
Nowadays she's reportedly speaking out on behalf of natural beauty...which hers is, if you believe everything she says.
Barbara Bach was one of the hotter Bond girls, to my way of thinking.
She's been married to Ringo Starr since 1981.
I've nothing much to say about Mariel Hemingway, tho she's in one of my best-loved movies (Creator) and another good one by one of my favorite filmmakers (Star 80, written and directed by Bob Fosse).
Ah, the body craze of 1983. Do you know that to this day I have never seen Staying Alive or even Flashdance (though I'm sure they're both brilliant films)?
But seriously folks--this cover model (Kymberly Herrin is her name) had a non-speaking but memorable role in a genuinely brilliant film, Ghostbusters.
She's the ghost in Dan Akyroyd's sex dream.
She can also be seen (especially those legs) in ZZ Top videos, Romancing the Stone, and Beverly Hills Cop 2.
In hindsight, September 1984's ish may have had more of an impact on me than I would realize for many years. Not only did it feature a spread of "new wave" cult actress Anne Carlisle,

...but the cover model and centerfold was Kimberly Evenson, who hasn't been seen since the '80s, leaving the world just a little less gorgeous.
September 1985 was the month of the dueling "Madonna In The Nude" issues of Playboy and Penthouse ; between you and me, I always thought Penthouse's cover was much hotter.
Next, Teri Weigel. Weigel became famous (or infamous, depending on how judgmental of another adult you want to be) for first becoming an "actress," then a porn star, and then a "sex worker," after her time on the pages of Playboy.
Many years ago, after she'd started the porn but before she started the sex work, I heard her interviewed by Penn Jillette and Alex Bennett on Alex's old radio show.
She struck me as someone who, if maybe not really a member of Mensa, at least knew shit from Shinola.She sure was pretty, tho, especially on the at-right cover.
This one mostly speaks for itself (quick aside, tho--can you remember the days when you actually wanted to see Brigitte Nielsen nude? No, me either).The cover model, Lillian Müller, appeared in many films and TV shows of the '80s, from Disney's Devil & Max Devlin to the sex comedy Stewardess School.
But she's probably best remembered (if at all) as the chemistry teacher in the Van Halen "Hot For Teacher" music video. Who didn't like that?
The above cover model is one of the few that I found nothing about, save that her name is Sharon Kaye.
And now, back to the hot teacher look...
About this next photo, there is an obvious question to be asked. How '80s can you get?
The answer is you cannot get too '80s, about which more in a later post.
Ahem.
On the bright side...so to speak...Terri Lynn Doss has on her resume not one but two of the most memorable of '80s action films, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.
Sad to say, her roles in both can be covered by the word "girl."
("at airport" and "in shower #2," respectively).
A lifetime...or 10 years. Conrad married Hugh Hefner in 1989 and bore him two children before they separated in 1999, tho he only filed for legal divorce this month.
As you can see, this issue also had the Dana Plato pictorial. One of the trippiest ever. "Trippy," because it's the only pictorial I ever remember seeing (much less a "star" pictorial), in which the subject appears bottomless but never fully topless.
