This weekend managed to bring more sadness for fans of classic movie nudity everywhere, since shortly after the passing of screen legend Karen Black , news broke that cult film star Haji had also headed to the great hereafter. Born Barbarella Catton i n Quebec, Canada in 1946, Haji spent her teen years as an exotic dancer before being “discovered” at a topless bar by director/cleavage connoisseur Russ Meye r. The rest is history, with Haji appearing in five of Meyer’s films including the Roger Ebert collaboration Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), and as Tura Satana ’s lesbian lover in the bad girl epic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! ( 1965) More after the jump!

Haji, RIP: 1946-2013
