 Now would be a good time for Tiffin to act her age. 
You would think U.S. born actress Pamela Tiffin would be too old for dolls at this point in her life, but here she is hanging onto one for dear life at age twenty-seven in this promo photo from 1969. The session was originally staged for Playboy, and this image is a clean version of one that had a seam across it in the magazine. We think Tiffin should ditch the doll. It would be better for her. And us. But it's an amazing shot anyway, with the dark green grass and the curly, golden locks, possibly extensions or a wig. Tiffin popped up in some American films, but really made her mark in Italy, where she landed leading roles in films such as Amore mio, uccidimi!, aka Kill Me, My Love!, and Il vichingo venuto dal sud, aka The Blonde in the Blue Movie, aka No One Will Notice You're Naked. This is her third appearance on Pulp as a femme fatale due to the fact that she made unusually interesting photos. See two more examples here and here. She also appears at the bottom of this page.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1938—Alicante Is Bombed
During the Spanish Civil War, a squadron of Italian bombers sent by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini to support the insurgent Spanish Nationalists, bombs the town of Alicante, killing more than three-hundred people. Although less remembered internationally than the infamous Nazi bombing of Guernica the previous year, the death toll in Alicante is similar, if not higher. 1977—Star Wars Opens
George Lucas's sci-fi epic Star Wars premiers in the Unites States to rave reviews and packed movie houses. Produced on a budget of $11 million, the film goes on to earn $460 million in the U.S. and $337 million overseas, while spawning a franchise that would eventually earn billions and make Lucas a Hollywood icon. 1930—Amy Johnson Flies from England to Australia
English aviatrix Amy Johnson lands in Darwin, Northern Territory, becoming the first woman to fly from England to Australia. She had departed from Croydon on May 5 and flown 11,000 miles to complete the feat. Her storied career ends in January 1941 when, while flying a secret mission for Britain, she either bails out into the Thames estuary and drowns, or is mistakenly shot down by British fighter planes. The facts of her death remain clouded today.
