When she appeared in a non-nude feature article in PLAYBOY the year before, the editors were so impressed with actress Sally Todd that they invited her to be a Playboy Playmate in their February 1957 issue. She wasn't exactly burning down the house with her film roles, but she certainly had the kind of looks that made men's heads turn. Her provocative shot in a form-fitting dress seen on the publicity materials for THE UNEARTHLY just a few months later was obviously intended to amplify her 36-20-36 figure. In the Republic Pictures film, Miss Todd plays a saucy resident of John Carradine's "psychiatric hospital" who ends up on the wrong end of a glandular experiment.

After playing in a couple more low-budget fills, she landed a role in another B-monster movie, Richard E. Cunha's FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER (1958) along with John Ashley and Sandra Knight.
Sally Todd's film career never took off, so she eventually retired from Hollywood and went into business for herself. She passed away at the age of 88 on 21 November 2022 in France.
Here she is as Playboy's Playmate for February 1957:
Here's a photo-feature of Miss Todd in the men's adventure magazine, GUY (September 1959):

That last photo is like an optical illusion, a wonderfully soft and alluring optical illusion.
ReplyDeleteToo bad her films didn't have the same kind of legs that she had!
