I bastardized it (cause she's mean and hates people using her name) but its an homage to Tura.

I'm glad a big documentary is coming out about her next year in tandem with her long awaited autobiography. She has had an unbelievably fascinating life, from her childhood in a Japanese internment camp to her fabulous film career, being shot by an ex lover, being engaged to Elvis, etc etc. What a woman. And still going strong into her 70's. I look forward to reading her book (hope it doesn't cost $350. like Roger Corman's autobiography...)
Director Ted V. Mikel has had a long and interesting career in making awful movies (and I say that with love) and is also still completely active. I have a soft spot for his "10 Angry Women" (even thought there were only 8 of them) because it tried to cram every exploitation cliche that would fit into 90 minutes. He has a cameo in the clip below as the dude who gets his heart pierced by a stiletto heel. What's not to love?
I also admire his ability to come up with film titles that are worth the price of admission alone ("Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" anyone? ha)
