“Ummm… how about some more colorful pics, Kim?”

And one last thought:

Italian name, played a Greek woman in The Guns Of Navarone… all very exotic except that Gia was actually born in Liverpool, to a Sicilian father and Irish mother, with the family name of Scoglio.  But nobody really cares what she was called, because:

And in the Navarone movie, where she’s exposed [sic] as a traitor:

Speaking of exposure:

It didn’t end well for our girl;  she was a victim of Teh Booze And Drogges, and she died of an overdose thereof at age 38.

Definitely a Sixties girl:

And with James Bond who, after this pic was taken, probably needed a few minutes before standing up:

…and I think we all know why.  Yikes.
