Death, 2...Blondes with Giant Breasts, 0.


Angela Aames
Feb. 27, 1956 - Nov. 27, 1988

If you know me, and by now you surely do, then you know what I'm all about. Hell, the very first post in this blog was all about my perfect woman...Anna Nicole Smith. The blonder the bimbo and the bigger the boobs, the more willing I am to fall for her. And that's as it should be. God made beautiful women for us to stare at...and as long as they're showing it off, I'm there to watch. You're welcome.

And such is the case with Angela Aames. You'd have to be a pretty big b-movie nerd to have even heard of her, much less to have followed her career. Well, turns out I have, and I am. Born in South Dakota in 1956, Angela Aames came to Hollywood in the 1970s and began to appear in cheap b-movies. Being blonde and having large natural breasts was a bonus, of course...but in fact she was a gifted comedic actress. She trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and Harvey Lembeck's Comedy Workshop before landing (largely naked) roles in the movies Fairy Tales and H.O.T.S.. It might not surprise you to know that I've tracked these down and have owned copies for years.

She later got more substantial roles in The Lost Empire and Bachelor Party and appeared on Night Court several times before landing a recurring role in The Dom DeLuise Show.

But as it sometimes goes with these things she was found dead at a friend's home on Nov. 27, 1988 from what the coroner would later determine to be a deterioration of the heart muscle, probably caused by a virus. She was beautiful and had a promising career and it's unfortunate that she died at the age of 32.

But, on the other hand, at least Phil Spector didn't kill her.

If Phil Spector had it might have been more entertaining. Shame she had a lot to offer,
