Lola Falana


Lola Falana was a dancer for Sammy Davis Jr, and then after he broke up with his wife following an affair with her she went to Italy, learnt Italian and starred in the movin picture fillems. Extraordinary woman. Apparently the first black woman to model toiletries that were aimed for whiteys too.
