Jeannie Bell
Nude

Born on November 23, 1944, in St. Louis, Missouri, Jeannie Bell was one of the great bodies of the early ’70s, when the time was right for hourglass figures. Jeannie grew up in Houston, Texas, and attended Texas Southern University, where she majored in business administration. She was the first Black woman to participate in the Miss Texas Pageant, which is one of the events leading up to the Miss Universe competition. She had dreams of becoming a professional actor or joining a professional bowling league. Lucky for us, she chose the entertainment biz, beginning with modeling. She was the second Black woman to appear as a Playboy centerfold. Her first onscreen gig was as “Sugar Jean Bell” on the white-trash sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies (1970). Shortly thereafter, due to good looks and her apparent willingness to toss clothes as quickly as a laundromat, Jeannie found herself in several blaxploitation pictures, from Black Gunn (1972) to Three the Hard Way (1974) — and men were always hard when Jeannie was onscreen. Stressing the “ploitation” suffix of the genre, Jeannie found many opportunities to show off her amazing rack and bodacious booty to the movie-going crowd. Although she appeared topless in some of her earlier works such as Mean Streets (1973), her go-to movie for nudity would have to be Sex on the Run (1979). Jeannie shows off her ebony charms, and there is also oodles of skin from other lovely ladies, too, like Britt Ekland. Now that rings Mr. Skin‘s Bell!
