Blast From The Past : Candy Samples

Candy Samples was first approached 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. Candy skyrocketed to fame and success most prominently in the 1970s via consistently regular appearances in men's soft-core publications Juggs, Gent and Fling magazines, among others. In the 1970s and 80s, she was indisputably formidable competition for such female hardcore porn luminaries as Marilyn Chambers, Seka, and Kay Parker. In addition to appearing in pornographic movies, she also appeared fetish mags and in some B-movie campy roles, including the 1974 science fiction spoof Flesh Gordon. She also appeared in the Russ Meyer satirical sexploitation film Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (1979). In those same years she took part in some "sexy wrestling" short-footage films too, mainly for Triumph Studios and Ron Dvorkin's Bellstone.
