EDIE ADAMS
 
WOmWAm Career Perspective
 
One of the last triple-threat "entertainers," who transformed herself into a Marilyn Monroe put-on in the early 60s, peaking with provocative ads pitching Muriel Cigars... Because so much of her eroticism is put-on, she at times touches upon the Dream Fantasy Girl while mocking it... With a voluptuous figure and expert timing she advanced the MM-effect as Tina Louise's "Ginger" would do, exploring hyper-seductiveness at such a phony level to reveal the depths of Feminine Allure...A Premier FEMMEtasm of the early 60s... 

Quite a few of her publicity photos feature her doing peculiar things with her fingers about her face...
