JUNE IN JULY
It's no surprise that outsiders believe that the South American folk religion known as Macumba is just a form of black magic and witchcraft.
Another "form" spun her own black magic spell in MACUMBA LOVE (1960) -- the fabulous June Wilkinson.
Along with Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Mamie van Doren, Miss Wilkinson was one of the many blonde bombshells of the day and at one point was dubbed, "the most photographed nude in America".
This example is from BEWITCHED (Vol. 1 No. 1, 1962).
More June HERE.
