Beverly Powers
Nude

Truly and deeply talented, Beverly Powers made her big motion picture debut as the nightclub stripper in the classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) with Audrey Hepburn. Often credited as Beverly Hills, or Ms. Beverly Hills if you’re nasty, the buxom Bev was a favorite addition to the Elvis Presley movies popular in the ‘60s, and took roles in Viva Las Vegas (1964), Kissin’ Cousins (1964), and Speedway (1968) alongside the King. Bob Hope also seemed to be a fan, and she appeared with him in Critic’s Choice (1963) along with Lucille Ball, and I’ll Take Sweden (1965) with Tuesday Weld. And Mr. Skin can’t leave out Vincent Price, who Bev worked with in The Comedy of Terrors (1963) with Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff, and More Dead Than Alive (1969) with Anne Francis. The list of other A+ actors this native Cali girl has been cast with is so long and so impressive, Mr. Skin just can’t. What he can do is share the tempting enchantress in all her naked glory as Harriet Williams in Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973), tagline: “They’ll Love The Very Life Out Of Your Body!” The sex sci-fi tells the story of how a powerful cosmic force turns women into queen bees who kill men by wearing them out sexually. Beverly’s Harriet delivers a buzz-worthy performance that exposes her tan-lined breasts and plush rump. Fourteen years after she made her big-screen debut, the 36-year-old actress made her final movie, in an uncredited role as a topless swimmer in Jaws. From Audrey Hepburn to Richard Dreyfuss—that about sums up the range of co-stars that have had the privilege to work with Ms. Beverly Hills. (Cause Mr. Skin is nasty.)
