She was also nude in several Playboy appearances, including a pictorial shot in 1959 which proclaimed her the as Playmate of the Month in January of 1960. It took more than a decade for her to make her movie nude debut in The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970, when she was already in her 30s).
She did nude scenes in:
The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970, age 31)
Las Vegas Lady (1975, age 36)
Monster in the Closet (1986, age 47)
Stella passed away this February. She had not performed in nearly two decades, and had been in a long-term care facility since 2016.
Very sexy wash tub in Cable Hogue
And very charming. I’ve always loved that scene.
