Linda Harrison
Sexy

Luscious Linda Harrison is the busty babe who made Charlton Heston want her damn, dirty paws all over him in the sci-fi classics Planet of the Apes (1968) and Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970). But before she was monkeying around as a scantily-clad primitive named Nova, Linda was just another pretty face from Maryland. At sixteen, the natural brunette was modeling in New York’s Garment Center. By 1965, she became the runner-up in the Miss USA contest. Linda’s good looks and great bod got her a one-way ticket to Hollywood. Once there, it didn’t take long for the tasty dish to get scooped up by a talent scout who recognized her huge scoops were perfect for the big screen. Linda donned blonde hair and a silver bikini in the racy romp A Guide for the Married Man (1967) and appeared in the disaster flick Airport 1975 (1974). But the only disaster we could see was that she kept her clothing on! In between, the arousing ingénue could be seen on primetime TV as a regular on the NBC drama Bracken’s World (1969-1970). Since then, Ms. Harrison made a cameo in Tim Burton’s reboot of Planet of the Apes (2001). In 2008, the world celebrated the 40th anniversary of the release of the original film—especially in Spain, where Linda was awarded the Maria Honorifica at the Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya for her career. Here at Skin Central, we’d also like to commend the hottie for sizzling onscreen!
