Allison Louise Downe, born in Miami, Florida, made her mark in the cult film scene of the 1960s and 70s, particularly through her collaborations with Herschell Gordon Lewis. She starred in Blood Feast (1963), where she not only acted but also contributed as a writer, showcasing her multifaceted talent. Downe's performances in films like Pagan Island (1961) and Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls (1963) reflect the playful yet provocative spirit of exploitation cinema. With credits under various pseudonyms, her work remains a significant part of the conversation around grindhouse and erotic thrillers.
The Prince and the Nature Girl
Mostly edited footage and outtakes from previous Doris Wishman films, and a couple of newly shot scenes to form a new narrative. A Prince (Jeffrey Niles) breaks away from his palace five days a work to work a "normal" job in secret. At that job he begins to have feelings for a certain woman but he is shocked to see that she belongs to a nudist colony. Soon, he gets to see what's so great about it.
