Jeanne Carmen - Dead, Sexy
Pin-up star and "Queen of the B-Movies" Jeanne Carmen died of Lymphoma today in Orange County. She was 77. More info about her crazy-ass life and a photo gallery after the cut.
Jeanne was on the scene. She's claimed to have slept with Bob Hope, JFK, Sinatra, Clark Gable and even Elvis himself.
She ranaway from home at the age of 13 because she wanted to be a star (and she didn't like picking cotton). In her 20's she began modeling and acted in a long string of B-Movies. She was also an amazing trick golfer and toured with Jack Redmond making crazy shots and hitting balls out of men's mouths. She also claims to have hustled golfers for the mob in Vegas.
She was great friends with Marilyn Monroe, and did not believe her death was an accident. After Marilyn's death she fled Hollywood for fear that she would be next.
A biopic is currently in the works reportedly starring Scarlett Johannson in the leading role. Her son also published a biography called The Wild, Wild Life of Jeanne Carmen. She really was a spitfire, and remained vibrant to the end.
