Most beautiful female casts ever assembled

[sidaris]

I agree that there were LOTS of beautiful female stars in the Matt Helm series. My favorite Helm movie, and the one that I think had the most beautiful collection of actresses was The Wrecking Crew. Honestly, I think it has one of the most beautiful casts of any movie.

Elke Sommer and Sharon Tate being a lot friendlier than they were in the film. I would have loved to see these two have a lesbian scene.



Nancy Kwan and Sharon practice their fight. The guy with them is Bruce Lee, who was the fight choreographer for The Wrecking Crew

So many beautiful women, so little time. Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallett, Margaret Nolan, and others.

Yes, a very fine cast there. I would also add Laura Linney:

How about "Animal House?" 4 main lovelies, Karen Allen, Mary Sue Weller, PM Martha Smith, and Sarah Holcomb. Numerous other sorority girls wandering around as well.

Janice Rule and Beverly Adams are also in it, as well as various semi-anonymous actresses who did little else.

I agree with bigtrain about The Ambushers cast, a good mix between Matt Helm's veterans, euro models and internationals beauty queens. Just the pic above is from The Silencers (1966) cast.
Below a pic with some The Ambushers Slaygirls, name credits added by me.



Jan, Marilyn, Inga and Dee was MH's vets, Terri Hughes was an aussie beuaty queen and Kyra Bester was a quite famous french model.
The movie had extensive use of the tall beauty Alena Jonhston, later on The Amazons/War Goddess (1973), a professionals dancer more than a model/actress, many of the Slaygirls scenes are ballet...the designated dance coreographer was Mary Jane Mangler, another MH's Vets, but she must leave the Mexico set due other commitments leaving Alena as stage coreographer, later both reunited in the dancing cast of Funny Girl (1968).


Kyra in the pic takes a languid glance at Inga...

All of them was Carry On franchise veterans, the Golden Girl Jill, Shirley Eaton, and masseuse Dink, Margaret Nolan, too but I'm sure you know it.

60s female casts was huge, in numbers and beauty.
Casino Royale, Goldifinger, any Hammer's, the Carry On's, The Assassination Bureau and The Best house in London spotted many actresses and models from UK, compare the last 2 mentioned titles with the Carry ON FTC, UtK, DLYH...more or less the same cast of women.
Including Annabella Incontrera...
Same in US for Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, the Bikinis Beach or the Matt Helm first 3 movies...Inga Neilsen was in all...I can list more title, but it's boring...so get to the chorus (line)

About Jan Watson, SGs leader and tour spokeperson, Miss California, Ridgid model with several flicks and TV show, she's absolutely gorgeous in The Swinger 1966, one of the few speaking Slaygirls, divorced 3 times...




About Marilyn Tindall, another Miss California, face (and body) of Vivitar Camera, no TV but 3 on Couch with Jerry Lewis and Hello Dolly! and as most of the MH regular cast in The Oscar.
Note her B&T costume : first pic a clear sideboob, second pic lace and side flaps...




About Mary Jane Mangler, a 5'7" dancer turned model/actress, she had a huge dancing number in The Silencers, better than ANY other dancers, she had several pic on lobby cards of Women of Prehistoric Planet (1966) but she's not in any frames...great dancing scene in Funny Girl too.




About Barbara Burgess, dancer and actress with a bunch of flicks, yes, she's the "dancing bad girl" in Elvis the Comeback Special... enough ?




About Larri Thomas, well know dancer with a massive acting career, dancing with Brando in Guys and Dolls, she was 34 in The Silencers, look at her TERRIFIC legs...




About Margaret Teele actress with several titles, 5'7"...but...



About Pamela Rodgers, everybody knows the pretty redhead...but I can't spot her in The Silencers, but she's in the promo and Winter Promotional Tour and some OST edition, she was dressed as Margaret Teele, easy to recog a red(head) in red.




About Gay MacGill...The Silencers is her only credit, really, the blonde pirate girl sports a beautiful body and a really pretty face




About Gigi Michel...probably a dancer, she's credited in 7 movies, and one of the 7 is My Fair Lady, she's pretty with long legs, but her costume was used by Mary Jane Mangler (instead the blue dance body) on tour.
I got just 2 pics of her




Let me know if you're interested in more pics of the Slaygirls from The Silencers.
