Althea Currier was model and actress.

Contents

Early life

Currier was born in 1941 in Baileyville, Maine, and moved to Southern California in the late 1950s. She was an American glamour model and actress, noted for her large-breasted figure, who appeared in a number of erotic nudie-cuties and sexploitation B grade films in the 1960s.

Career

After moving to Los Angeles, she worked as a dance instructor for Arthur Murray studios and became involved in the entertainment field. She appeared in a number of low-budget B-movies in the early 1960s, making her debut in 1961 in Russ Meyer's Erotica, reportedly chosen by him because of her large breasts.

In 1965, Currier worked as an exotic dancer in Chuck Landis' Largo Strip Club in Los Angeles. This led to Currier becoming involved in glamour/nude modeling and appearances in many men's magazines of the time, including Mosaic, Modern Man, Adam, Scamp, All Man, Man's Life, etc. She was also featured in Adam magazine's 1964 full-color calendar. Currier wrote an advice column title 'Ask Althea' in Adam magazine from 1964 to 1967, and appeared in occasional layouts in the magazine.

Currier appeared in films directed by Russ Meyer and Peter Perry and producers such as Dan Sonney and Harry Novak.

Currier retired from entertainment towards the end of the 1960s to raise a family.
