Nostalgia: the women of Twin Peaks, part 7, Anne Gaybis

Anne Gaybis fits into the Twin Peaks series because she was a topless dancer in the feature-length film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

That role was a fair representation of her entire career. She had three specialties: singing, dancing and getting naked. In the latter category, she was even willing to do the kind of nudity required in soft-X movies (where they showed open leg shots and flaccid penises, but no erections or penetration), as demonstrated below in Deep Jaws.

That skill set meant that she truly had a narrow niche in show biz: musical erotica. As ridiculous as that sounds, she actually managed to make a living by answering the casting call whenever a director needed somebody who could sing and dance while looking good naked. That drew her into some low-budget movies of the type you might see in drive-in triple features, but she occasionally got a chance to strut her stuff for major directors like David Lynch (Fire Walk), Colin Higgins (Best Little Whorehouse) and Paul Verhoeven (Showgirls).
