STARLET OF THE WEEK: THORDIS BRANDT

Glamorous Nordic blonde Thordis Brandt was one of many 60s anonymous beauties who played bit roles on film and TV throughout the decade. Thordis danced with Elvis in Spinout (1966), was one of the Amazons trying to take over the world in the spy spoof In Like Flint (1967), and played a Ziegfeld Girl in Funny Girl (1968). Bigger roles were offered to her on such TV series as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I Spy, The Green Hornet, and Mannix. Thordis had talent but never got to display it much as she was always hired for her beauty and curvaceous body only.
