It's nice to hear that she's still around. And we all get older, but with no disrespect to Ms. Warner or to you for this nice thread on her, I'd really prefer to keep the image of her in my mind as this, if you don't mind. :)

Yeah, I know. She's old enough to be our mother or grandmother today. In fact, she and my father were born just over three weeks apart -- which means she was 25 in 1960 and turned 75 a month ago.

And while I (really) like the PRIMITIVA album cover also, I'm one of those guys who has to go beyond the still image or flickering film and discover the real person behind it. It adds some substance to the illusions on the album cover or movie screen.

The thing that boggles my mind, though, is my discovery that there wasn't just one Exotica Girl. Technically, there were TWO: Ms. Warner has a twin sister named Sonia !
