Here's a somewhat forgotten classic-- Stephanie Fondue (real name Enid Finnbogason) in 1973's "The Cheerleaders".

The film was a staple of late night, drive in movies for years-- pure sexploitation. There were several of these "Cheerleader" films that came out at regular intervals, tapering off after 1977 or so. "The Cheerleaders Wild Weekend", "The Swinging Cheerleaders" , and "Revenge of the Cheerleaders" to name the titles.

Anyway, in this outing young hottie Jeannie (Stephanie Fondue) is a virginal good girl, curious about sex and desperate to make the cheer team. The girls take a liking to her, and she wins a spot during try outs. As part of her initiation, she has to take a shower in the boys locker room. She doesn't count on practice ending early and the team comes in to the locker room to find a nude and flustered Jeannie trying to cover herself.

Naked and humiliated, she is chased around the shower bay. Breaking away, she grabs her clothes and makes a run for it. But don't worry...we see a lot more of the delightful and nubile Jeannie as the film moves on.

Ms. Fondue is something of an enigma. This seems to be her only film credit and not much is known of her subsequent career. She supposedly posed for several men's magazines and then dropped out of sight. Her family is from Iceland and she grew up in Canada. Last reports from about 10 years ago is that she was managing a nightclub somewhere up there.

Incidentally, if you ever wanted to see California at the start of a drought pre climate change hysteria, this is the film for you. Also check out the groovy, "modern" shower tree's in the locker room...
