Jill Lansing was topless in several scenes from this 1979 film (and was never seen again).

Quite a cutie, with a fascinating IMDb bio:

“Jill Lansing was a fiery, sexy and attractive brunette actress who only starred in one memorably trashy and entertaining down’n’dirty 70’s exploitation gem, but nonetheless made such a strong and indelible impression as the lead in that picture, that she continues to amaze and win over fans more than thirty years after the film was initially released. Lansing gave an excellent, inspired, and utterly convincing performance as the bitter, surly, and calculating Kim Bentley, a ruthless and shameless teenage tramp who resorts to drastic measures to eke out a living in the sublimely sleazy Crown International grindhouse delight “Malibu High.” Despite her fierce and compelling portrayal of this deliciously nasty, immoral and alienated femme fatale character, Jill Lansing alas never appeared in another movie and seems to have vanished into thin air.”

“The latest Quinnipiac University poll of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters showed Biden with 22 percent support and Harris with 20 percent — a double-digit jump for her since the university’s previous poll last month.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont were in third and fourth place in the poll, with 14 percent and 13 percent, respectively. Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, was in fifth, with 4 percent support.

No other candidate got more than 3 percent in the poll.”

 

Thoughts:

  • Barring some complete surprise, it now looks to be a four-horse race. As much as everyone is impressed by Mayor Pete, the gap between fourth and fifth is extremely wide.
  • Bernie and Warren are splitting the leftward vote. One might have a chance at the nomination if the other dropped out and endorsed the one remaining. I don’t see Bernie being willing to drop out to campaign for Warren, although he probably should if he really believes in their ideas.
