According to her Web site, Samples was approached while in Marina Del Rey, California to do pin-up modeling. During the course of the 1960s, she appeared in numerous black and white magazines in "cheesecake" poses.

Over the years, Samples performed as an exotic dancer. She appeared in numerous men's soft-core publications, including Juggs and Gent.

In addition to appearing in pornographic movies, she also appeared in some B-movie campy roles, including the leader of the Amazonian lesbians in the 1974 science fiction spoof Flesh Gordon. She also appeared in the action spoof Superchick (1973), the Russ Meyer sexploitation films Up! (1976) and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (1979), and the Australian softcore film Fantasm Comes Again (1977). She was often billed as Mary Gavin.

In 1979, she performed with John Holmes, Johnny Keyes, Serena, Uschi Digard, Kitten Natividad, and Kelly Stewart in the pornographic film John Holmes and the All-Star Sex Queens from Zane Entertainment Group. In those same years, she also took part in some "sexy wrestling" short-footage films, too, mainly for Triumph Studios and Ron Dvorkin's Bellstone.

"Brief careers can still leave significant marks, especially when they involve prominent roles that showcase certain assets. Take Elaine Collins, for instance; her short yet memorable acting journey is noteworthy despite its brevity. She kicked off her career and debuted professionally in Russ Meyer's 'Up!' (1976), penned by renowned critic Roger Ebert. This nude introduction included a provocative dungeon scene, setting the tone for her future roles.

Collins' second and final on-screen appearance was in the cult sexploitation film 'Fantasm Comes Again' (1977). Here, she shared screen time with notable stars like Uschi Digard, Cheryl 'Rainbeaux' Smith, Candy Samples, Brenda Fogarty, and Helen O'Connell. The movie featured a lively orgy scene, which marked her farewell to the industry.

Fans craving more of Collins' work can explore earlier films such as 'The Laughing Policeman' (1973) and 'Deep Jaws' (1976), although nudity isn't present. Even without flesh-baring scenes, her presence on screen is enough to evoke a strong response. The pursuit continues at E4U Central for more nude appearances by Ms. Collins, satisfying the appetite of eager fans."

Foxy Lae is an American actress and performer of Latina descent. She rose to cult fame during the 1970s, primarily known for her role as Pocahontas in the 1976 exploitation film Up! (also released as Russ Meyer's Up!), directed by the legendary filmmaker Russ Meyer.

Before and during her brief cinematic career, she was a prominent exotic dancer and burlesque performer. Her stage career saw her as a featured dancer at high-profile venues such as the Palomino Club in North Las Vegas and the Broadway Burlesque in New York City. Despite her memorable screen presence, Up! remains her only major film credit, and she largely withdrew from the public eye following the 1970s.

Born as Joyce Anne DeWitt on April 23, 1949, in Wheeling, West Virginia, the American actress is internationally recognized for her iconic role as the sensible and witty Janet Wood in the hit ABC sitcom Three's Company (1977–1984). Growing up in Speedway, Indiana, DeWitt developed a passion for performing at a young age, making her stage debut at just 13. She pursued a formal education in the arts, earning a bachelor’s degree in theater from Ball State University and later a Master of Fine Arts from UCLA.

While she famously balanced the slapstick antics of co-stars John Ritter and Suzanne Somers, her career began with a television debut on the series Baretta. Beyond her legendary sitcom status, DeWitt has maintained an extensive career in regional theater and dinner theater, both as an actress and director, while also dedicating herself to charitable initiatives focused on hunger relief and homelessness.

Natividad was born in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, the eldest of nine children, and did not speak English until she was 10. At that time, her mother married a U.S. citizen and they moved to Texas. Natividad attended high school in El Paso, where she was her senior class president. After moving to California, she worked as a maid and cook for Stella Stevens and as a key-punch operator for IBM before turning to go-go dancing to make ends meet. Her stage name Kitten came from her shyness. At age 21, she had her first breast implant surgery in Tijuana (where it was legal) on the advice of her agent. Kitten Natividad was introduced to Russ Meyer by fellow dancer Shari Eubank, a performer in Meyer's 1975 film Supervixens. Meyer hired her to narrate his movie Up!, where she was shown sitting nude in a tree, quoting the poetry of Hilda Doolittle and acting as a Greek chorus to the nonsensical action. Meyer was so impressed he wanted her to star in his next feature, Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens, one of several collaborations between Meyer and film critic Roger Ebert. He paid for a second breast enhancement and voice lessons to eliminate her accent. She left her husband for Meyer during the filming, and they lived together as a couple for most of the next 15 years. After this, Natividad moved into pornographic modeling, mainly doing glamour or girl-girl shoots with the likes of Candy Samples, Uschi Digard, and Patty Plenty. The appearances increased her dancing income many times over. She incorporated a giant champagne glass into her act (similar to Lili St. Cyr), accompanied by the Bobby Darin hit "Splish Splash." She appeared as a guest on The Dating Game, one of a number of game shows that Chuck Barris produced. During the 1980s, Natividad began appearing in pornographic productions, initially limiting her performances to appearing topless. Eventually, however, she graduated to engaging in hardcore performances, usually with younger men and women. She also founded the private photo and video studio Kitten Klub. She famously appeared as a stripper at the bachelor party held by Sean Penn to celebrate his 1985 marriage to Madonna. In 2001, Natividad starred in the cult film comedy The Double-D Avenger, directed by William Winckler, and in it, she was reunited with fellow Russ Meyer stars, actress Haji from Russ Meyer's "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" and Raven De La Croix from Russ Meyer's film "Up! In The Double-D Avenger". Kitten Natividad plays Chastity Knott, a woman who becomes a busty costumed crime fighter.

Born on August 24, 1947, in The Bronx, New York City, Raven De La Croix was originally named Lynn Christie Martin (some sources also cite Lynn Christie Anna De La Croix). Raised in a large family as the oldest of eight children, she possesses a rich heritage of Comanche and French descent. Before her rise to fame, she led a diverse professional life, working as a licensed nurse at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and even giving educational talks in prisons.

Her career took a dramatic turn when she was discovered by a talent scout for Eddie Foy Jr. at a Hollywood restaurant, which led to her iconic meeting with director Russ Meyer. This encounter secured her the lead role in the 1976 cult classic Up!, where she not only acted but also performed her own stunts and designed her own costumes. Beyond her collaboration with Meyer, she appeared in films like The Lost Empire (1984) and John Landis's The Blues Brothers (1980). Outside of the film industry, she has worked as a producer, stripper, writer, and psychic.

Su Ling is an actress and model best known for her roles in mid-1970s sexploitation cinema. Although her specific birth date, birth name, and birthplace are not publicly documented in standard film archives like the
IMDb profile for Su Ling, she rose to cult fame as part of the ensemble of Russ Meyer's films. Her most prominent role was as the character Limehouse in the 1976 cult classic „Up!“, directed by Russ Meyer. In the same year, she appeared as Katsina in „Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks“, a sequel to the notorious Ilsa series. Beyond her film work, Su Ling was a prolific model during the 1970s, featuring extensively in men's magazines and appearing in the „Apartment House Wrestling“ features of Sports Review Wrestling.

Note on potential confusion: Due to the similarity in names, she is frequently confused with Su Ling Chan (born October 24, 1984, in Malaysia), a contemporary voice actress known for video games like Honkai: Star Rail. There is no professional connection between the 1970s actress Su Ling and the modern voice artist.
