Monique van Vooren and Mamie Van Doren

Monique Van Vooren was a wannabe actress. Her big claim to fame was that Andy Warhol recruited her for his 3-D "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein", which featured lots of bloody organs being thrust at the camera. As usual with Warhol, no acting skill required.

Mamie had a real career even if it was mostly a shlockfest.

From TCM:

Full-figured, hard-edged leading lady of the late 1950s and early 60s who, next to Jayne Mansfield, was one of the best known of the Marilyn Monroe imitators to emerge at that time. Van Doren, however, was not cast primarily in comedies like the more successful Mansfield; instead, she primarily appeared in schlocky "B" melodramas like "Guns, Girls, and Gangsters" (1958), "The Beat Generation" (1959), and "The Navy vs. the Night Monsters" (1966) and exploitation films like "High School Confidential" (1958), "Sex Kittens Go the College" (1960). Van Doren's minor cult status was acknowledged in 1994's "Pulp Fiction," in which a character named "Mamie Van Doren" was played by Lorelei Leslie.

Mamie had a hypnotic effect on film.

Mamie Van Doren was the poor man's Jayne Mansfield.

However, I do love GIRLS TOWN, a camp classic from the late 50's featuring her and, get this, Mel Torme as a hoodlum.

Never saw it, but I can imagine Mel Torme' as the hoodlum. He was a man of many talents.

Is Van Vooren still active in anything? She would be well into 90s now...........

Mamie Van Doren is a haggard looking pinched face old bitch with the saggiest boobs I’ve ever seen. She had to have her French toast “soft in the center” and then when she bring her husband and 100 year old mother (who looked better her actually) they’d order one side salad and one French onion soup. We all loathed her. This was in the 1996 at a mall cafe.

You’d be lucky to get a two dollar tip after all their demands. Sometime they’d complain about the service and I or other unfortunates would get stuck with them.

She's actively dead.

She was also in campfest Ash Wednesday as one of the Eurotrash facelift people.

Mamie got herself lots of prime cock. Maybe Monique did too, but I'll bet she never sampled Steve's Cochran.

Mamie’s current husband is #5.

Her ex, bandleader Ray Anthony, must be close to 100. He was cute.

She was pretty as a young woman, I don’t know what turned her so bitter and ugly.

Was Van Vooren married to a rich guy? How did/does she support herself? Her movies were rare, as were her caberet shows........

Was the mall South Coast Plaza? I heard Mamie was a tough old broad.........

Monique van Vooren

R14, yes ! The worst days of my life dealing with all those snobs!

More stories about Mamie or other snobby celebs????

Van Vooren was caught stealing her mothers social security payments! She must have had fun filming her scenes in bed with Joe Dallesandro in that 3D Frankenstein movie......

Monique is 92, Mamie on the other hand is a youthful 88.

R17, maybe R15 does, we only had minor celebs. That cunt Dr.Laura came by but she did like our menu and some fangurl came up to her and she totally brushed her off with a “yeah yeah get away you peon” gesture Hope from Y and R thought she was just all that and a bag of chips seriously who would care about her? She was a bitch. Can’t think of her name . I’m sure there were more that I just didn’t recognize because I was in school and so busy one day I didn’t recognize my own cousin sitting in my station.
