Report: Buxom '70s Icon Candy Samples Passes at 91

CYBERSPACE — According to reports, fetish model, stripper and adult performer Candy Samples, a buxom model whose career peaked in the 1960s-1980s era of the industry, has recently passed at 91.

Samples has been memorialized by the Rialto Report, an indispensable resource and podcast tracking the history and experiences of adult industry performers, directors, producers and many others from the pre-digital era of porn.

“Candy Samples,” wrote the Rialto Report, “was one of the true larger than life figures that lit up the early adult industry: she appeared in cult movies such as Russ Meyer‘s 'Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens' (1979) (where she was ‘The Very Big Blonde’) and 'Up!' (1976), and also 'Flesh Gordon' (1974), 'Fantasm' (1976), 'Deep Jaws' (1976), and 'The Best Little Whorehouse in San Francisco' (1985), as well as tens of loops – to name but a few.”

The Rialto Report memorial post includes many personal photographs shared by the elderly Samples with researcher and journalist April Hall, who visited for the podcast.

Samples' career is lovingly chronicled in the Rialto Report obituary:

She was in black and white cheesecake photo sets from the late 1960s, thousands of magazines, and scores of films – from softcore to hardcore, from loops to catfight wrestling shorts.

She had a mischievous, friendly look that stood out from all the other models. She often played the roles of older women that somehow looked like your mother’s naughty friend, exuding a mysterious sex appeal.

And then there were her breasts. With her formidable physique, she looked like an Amazonian queen; fit, tanned and invincible.
