Virginia Bell Photographs is a post from: PinUp Girls, Vintage Decals Art and Posters

Virginia "Ding Dong" Bell (born 1932 in Montrose, California) is a topless model and actress. She started her career in the 1950s as a burlesque dancer. Virginia had one starring role in a feature film, Bell, Bare and Beautiful (1963), which was the product of legendary sexploitation team of Herschell Gordon Lewis and David Friedman. In it, Virginia plays a burlesque dancer pursued by Lewis regular Thomas Wood. But his attempts at finding true love with the "girl of his dreams" are thwarted by her gangster boyfriend (played by David Friedman). Wood gets around this speedbump by tracking Virginia down at the nudist camp she frequents, which is where at least half the film takes place.
