I recently sat down with Ed Robertson and guest co-host Chuck Harter to talk about my unforgettable experience starring in\u00a0<em>Vixen!<\/em>\u00a0(1968), the film that changed my life and helped define Russ Meyer\u2019s legacy.\u00a0<em>Vixen!<\/em>\u00a0was bold, shocking, and way ahead of its time\u2014tackling taboo subjects like nymphomania, racism, communism, and even draft dodging. Of course, it also landed in hot water with censors, earning one of the first-ever X ratings and facing multiple obscenity prosecutions. But despite all that, it became a massive box office hit and one of the most successful independent films of its era. Russ was a true maverick, and\u00a0<em>Vixen!<\/em>\u00a0remains the perfect example of his fearless, no-holds-barred style of filmmaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part I aired this past weekend on Coast to Coast and is available on the podcast service of your choice. Part II will air this coming weekend and be available on February 10.
