You were one of the most striking women to grace the silver screen, first a Playmate (Playboy, Oct 1958) and overall, girlie-mag sensation, later becoming a veritable scream queen long before the term had caught on.
Your presence in monster movies is most significant in this respect, and three, big ones they are: Tarantula, The Black Scorpion and The Giant Claw.
For movies of another sort (westerns, comedy, intrigue and exotica), you were as visible, accumulating such titles as Toughest Man in Arizona, Man Without a Star, Man from Bitter Bridge, Drums Across the River, A Day of Fury, The Quiet Gun, Naked Gun, Raw Edge, Tarzan and the She-Devil, Son of Ali Baba, Yankee Pasha, Girls on the Loose, Undersea Girl, Sea Fire, Foxfire, Dawn at Socorro, Francis Joins the W.A.C.S., Playgirl, Sweethearts on Parade, So This is Paris, Money from Home, The Lady Wants Mink and such television shows as The Adventures of Kit Carson, The Man from Blackhawk, Tales of Wells Fargo, The Restless Gun, Peter Gunn, Surfside 6, Adventures in Paradise and Craig Kennedy, Criminologist.
On a special note, the bond you formed with Clint Eastwood, who cameos in Tarantula, led to appearances in several of his movies: Sudden Impact, The Gauntlet, Pink Cadillac and The Rookie.
There's no debate: You hit it outta the park each and every time, Ms. Corday: a larger-than-life, glamour gal who rubbed elbows with the higher, Hollywood echelon, and now you'll soar even higher than that, as you rub wings among the angels.
