She was a child star. She disappeared for five years, then re-emerged as a softcore star – for about a minute. Then she disappeared for good.

Jennie Lynn appeared in two movies in 1970, when she was 18 years old. She disappeared after them, but had an impressive history as a child actress before them. Among her many credits on several tv shows were guest appearances in Leave it to Beaver
and My Three Sons.
From 1965 to 1970 Jennie made no movies or television shows but my oh my, did she ever grow up. Yessiree, grow she did in ways that are sure to impress any reader of the Funhouse.
Matinee Wives (1970) is a California grindhouse movie, packed with unclothed women, but I want to focus for now on Jennie. Her role was as a topless cocktail waitress.
‘Tis a brief scene but in the end credits she reappears as a topless and bottomless dancer.
The movie is available only in DVD from a very poor source (obviously a theater copy rather than the original print), so the clips and the screen grabs are pretty damn short of our modern, high-def expectations.
More impressive were Jennie’s many nude scenes in Getting Into Heaven (1970).
This, too, is available only in DVD, but the source material is much cleaner and brighter and better. I grabbed a clip and did a few collages of one scene (you can find caps and clips of other scenes – including a girl-girl encounter with Uschi Digard – in the back issues of the Funhouse), and you can bet the moment this movie shows up on Bluray, you will be hearing from me again.
