Born in Texas, Janet Banzet, who often performed under the stage name Marie Brent, emerged as a notable figure in the sexploitation genre during the late 1960s. She captivated audiences with her performances in films like The Beast That Killed Women (1965) and Venus in Furs (1967), showcasing her ability to navigate the provocative narratives of the era. Her work in Diary of a Swinger (1967) and The Sex Cycle (1967) further solidified her presence in this niche of cult cinema, leaving a lasting impact before her untimely passing in 1971.
The Sex Cycle
The Cocoa Poodle bar is the central meeting place for the denizens of a bohemian suburban area. Janet, a rather colorless model, is jealous of her artist/mentor Tanya, who attracts the attention of all the local guys. An exotic card-reader offers her a pair of earrings which will give her power over others. She soon becomes the center of attention, but commits a fatal error.
