Little known fact

When she was a toddler, a very frightening accident befell Peterson, one that left her permanently disfigured. The two-year-old climbed up on a chair to reach the stove, pulling over a pot of boiling water that her mother was using to cook Easter eggs. She suffered third-degree burns on roughly thirty-five percent of her body, with the most severe burns occurring on her neck and shoulders. The burns were so severe that she required skin grafts.

One of the reasons she never really did nudity was because she has severe scars on her body.

She gets about in some damn sexy outfits in the film.

I had watched this back in the day, and just a few years ago watched it again. Gotta give her credit, she does a good job of acting / on screen persona / comedic chops. The whole film is based around her.

edit: Seven's post appearing during my write up, that's something I didn't know

The actress appeared nude a few times, yes. But her "Elvira" persona was all about the ditzy, suggestive stuff without actually delivering.

Her first shoot was for High Society back in '74.

Happy hunting for the topless titty shaking scene from The Working Girls.

Another lesser known fact, she is the chick in this scene as she and Paul Ruebens were really good friends
