During the 1970s Claudia Jennings was one of

Playboy's top models, as well as the undisputed

Queen of Cult cinema. This is the complete story of

her life, authorized by her family. The book covers

her childhood, early days as a teen cheerleader, her

fi lm career, and sadly, her tragic death at the age of

29. Claudia Jennings was not just a one dimensional

"party girl." Through dozens of interviews with

family, friends and colleagues in the entertainment

business, a portrait emerges of a kind, sweet,

complex and nurturing woman who loved children and

helping others. The book explores her relationship

with Hugh Hefner, her extraordinary movie career

and the peaks and valleys of her personal life. All her

fi lms are reviewed and include behind the camera

stories from cast and crew, who were on the set at

the time. With a forward written by the legendary

Roger Corman and featuring many rare photographs,

the book is a must-have for fans of Claudia, cult

movies and cinematic history.
