Now would be a good time for Tiffin to act her age.
You would think U.S. born actress Pamela Tiffin would be too old for dolls at this point in her life, but here she is hanging onto one for dear life at age twenty-seven in this promo photo from 1969. The session was originally staged for Playboy, and this image is a clean version of one that had a seam across it in the magazine. We think Tiffin should ditch the doll. It would be better for her. And us. But it's an amazing shot anyway, with the dark green grass and the curly, golden locks, possibly extensions or a wig. Tiffin popped up in some American films, but really made her mark in Italy, where she landed leading roles in films such as Amore mio, uccidimi!, aka Kill Me, My Love!, and Il vichingo venuto dal sud, aka The Blonde in the Blue Movie, aka No One Will Notice You're Naked. This is her third appearance on Pulp as a femme fatale due to the fact that she made unusually interesting photos. See two more examples here and here. She also appears at the bottom of this page.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1923—Yankee Stadium Opens
In New York City, Yankee Stadium, home of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees, opens with the Yankees beating their eternal rivals the Boston Red Sox 4 to 1. The stadium, which is nicknamed The House that Ruth Built, sees the Yankees become the most successful franchise in baseball history. It is eventually replaced by a new Yankee Stadium and closes in September 2008. 1961—Bay of Pigs Invasion Is Launched
A group of CIA financed and trained Cuban refugees lands at the Bay of Pigs in southern Cuba with the aim of ousting Fidel Castro. However, the invasion fails badly and the result is embarrassment for U.S. president John F. Kennedy and a major boost in popularity for Fidel Castro, and also has the effect of pushing him toward the Soviet Union for protection. 1943—First LSD Trip Takes Place
Swiss scientist Albert Hofmann, while working at Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, accidentally absorbs lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD, and thus discovers its psychedelic properties. He had first synthesized the substance five years earlier but hadn't been aware of its effects. He goes on to write scores of articles and books about his creation.
