Lada Edmund, jr. - where are you?

Quelle Fromage! I posted this some months back, so national cheese day is long past.

Turns out TODAY is national cheese day, not yesterday, as SOME people (who shall remain nameless but simply don’t understand my love of 60s pop le francais) will have it. Check out Lada Edmund Jr - the gogo girl in the cage from Hullaballoo, as Soupy Sales lets her out to sing! Lada cut two singles then disappeared after doing some movies (like “Rape Squad” with one of my heroes, Jack Hill, illustrious director of other classics like “SpiderBaby” and “Coffy.”) Anyone know where she is? I probably pass her in the supermarket here in LA!

  1. Omigosh, I loved Lada Edmund, Jr., she was one of my “perfect flip” idols back the the day! After I gre out of my adoration of The Lovely Carol Merrill, that is.

  3. I think Lada is the ultimate personification of the wild 60s go-go girl, blindingly attractive and compelling until she disappears into complete oblivion. Perfect execution. I hope wherever she is she’s happy.

  6. Lada was the ONLY reason I watched Hullaballoo ……. well…. I liked Joey Heatherton, too, but anyway, Lada was a great dancer!
