If
you're a fan of " men's sweat mags " then you might also be a fan of
the Ilsa movie series starring Dyanne Thorne. ILSA SHE - WOLF OF THE SS
(1975 ) , ILSA , HAREM KEEPER OF THE OIL SHIEKS ( 1976 ) and ILSA
TIGRESS OF SIBERIA (1977 ). There was a fourth
flick ILSA THE WICKED WARDEN ( 1977 ). But that was originally a movie
titled GRETA THE WICKED WARDEN about another psychotic dominitrix. The
title was obviously changed to capitalize on the success of the Ilsa
movies.
Born Dorothy Ann Seib in Park Ridge , New Jersey Dyanne Thorne
began her show biz career as a band vocalist and stage actress in New
York. She appeared on comedy albums with Allen & Rossi , ,Loman
& Barkley and Vaughn Meader. She would appear on a number
of television variety shows and television series. To fans of the
original STAR TREK she is " Girl No. 1 " on the classic episode A Piece
Of The Action. Her buxom figure would lead to roles in grind house
movie like SIN IN THE SUBURBS ( 1964 ) and nudie
- cuties like THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO ( 1971 ). And then in
1975 she would take on the role that would lead her to cult stardom.
Ms. Thorne standing 5' 7" 123 lb. ( 37 - 22 -35 ) figure looked
like the embodiment of the Nazi she - devils that tortured captured
American soldiers on the covers of men's adventure mags in the 60s.
It
got me to thinking that she would have been the
perfect foil for Steve Holland and Eva Lynd in one of those alternate
universe war movies I keep imaging that duo starring in.
