Denise Darcel and
Lex Barker in
Tarzan And The Slave Girl (Lee Sholem, 1950).
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, singer and actor
Denise Darcel (1924-2011) starred in a string of Hollywood films. Americans knew her as the sultry ‘French Bombshell’. Later she worked as a game show host, a striptease artiste and a casino dealer in Las Vegas. Indeed,
ooh-la-la!
After a Hollywood career as Tarzan and as Mr. Lana Turner,
Lex Barker (1919-1973) moved to Europe. Here he worked with Federico Fellini and later became Old Shatterhand in the popular Karl May film series.
