STARLET SIGHTING!

Over this past weekend, there was a screening in Santa Monica of the cult Hollywood surf movies Beach Party and The Girls on the Beach. Aron Kincaid, the co-star of the latter, attended with his friend Katie. The theatre then made a special announcement that the elusive Candy Johnson was in attendance. Candy was the twisting go-go girl whose wiggle would send the boys flying off their surf boards. She appeared in Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, and Pajama Party. Per Aron, she now resembles Ann Sothern from her later years--big and blowsy. Candy was accompanied by two young gentlemen who aided her.

Check out the Candy Johnson Fan Page for more info on this 60s icon. Candy is also profiled in my books Drive-in Dream Girls and Hollywood Surf & Beach Movies.
