In Memoriam: statuesque Russ Meyer leading lady (John Waters describes her tough-as-nails performance as the vicious Varla in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966) "one of the best villains in screen history”), tassel-twisting burlesque queen (billed as “Miss Japan Beautiful”) and all-round ultra-vixen, the fiercely bodacious Tura Satana (née Tura Luna Pascual Yamaguchi, 10 July 1938 - 4 February 2011) died fifteen years ago today. While nowhere near as stellar as Faster, Pussycat! Satana is also a magnificently hostile presence in berserk 1968 exploitation flick The Astro-Zombies. (The fourth of February is a cruel day for aficionados of low-brow trash culture: ghoulish Cramps frontman Lux Interior died on 4 February 2009). Do the Watusi, smoke a cheroot or karate chop someone today in Satana’s memory! And the 2024 documentary Tura! by Cody Jarrett is compulsory viewing.
