Chesty was famous for her Guinness Record Book entry as the film star with the largest natural chest. Her measurements were allegedly 73-26-36. Doris Wishman, one of the true masters of exploitation cinema, decided that Chesty should be a star, and featured her in these two cheap erotic films in 1974. They have identical IMDb scores of 3.9, which is probably fair, but so short-sighted.
The great Fellini was so impressed by Chesty’s … er … talents …that he cast her for a part in Casanova (1976). Her part was cut, but it lives on the internet.

If you don’t know anything about Chesty, her fascinating life is very well chronicled in the series linked below (which is also available as a podcast). What a life she has lived! The hardships she overcame include the holocaust and the death of two husbands and a daughter. I didn’t download the podcast, but the written articles are absolutely first-rate. They include rare photographs, and an interview with Chesty herself (real name Ilana Wajc), who is still alive (age 88), and is now living in Southwest Florida.

I love The Rialto Report. Another fascinating life chronicled there was that of Helen Wood aka Dolly Sharp. She went from Broadway to being the third lead in the film “Give A Girl A Break,” directed by Stanley Donen she danced alongside the likes of Debbie Reynolds and Bob Fosse to starring in several hardcore porn films in the 1970’s including Deep Throat.
Another example of the ‘Bigger is Not Always Better” principle.’
Lol that deleted scene! Guessing that wasn’t in any of Donald Sutherland’s in memoriam montages – I’d imagine Fellini saw one or both of Chesty’s movies, he famously loved John Waters’ Pink Flamingos
