Here’s a clip from the excellent Paul Newman prison film Cool Hand Luke, suitable for lascivious heterosexual dads everywhere. The stunning, frankly jaw-dropping actor whose clothes are barely held together by a safety pin is Joy Harmon and this bit-part role is her most famous. (Her biggest role was in a lame 1965 beach movie called Village Of The Giants. She starred.)
Frankly I doubt she’d be considered beautiful by Hollywood standards nowadays, which is another reason why Hollywood is crazy.
Anyway. Joy Harmon. Happy Father’s Day, dads everywhere!
(There’s an interview on the filming of this scene here, if you’re interested.)
About Stephen Whitworth
Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven six pet snakes (R.I.P., Fred).
