Sandra Peabody
Nude

Maybe it’s just us, but when you combine a fine female body with an aura of innocence there’s nothing more boner-inducing. With her long and lank brown hair, face radiating youth and innocence, and a plush body that seemed to be padded with the thinnest, sweetest layer of baby fat, Sandra Peabody personified the nubile hippie chick, tripping through life exuding budding sexuality and tragic vulnerability. In the opening shower sequence of Wes Craven’s cinematic death knell to the free-loving 1960s, Last House on the Left (1972), Sandra is obviously and painfully beyond the protection of soap and steam. Cassel’s Last House demise seems foreordained. She’s too sweet to live. As she runs naked through the woods, her full, defenseless breasts and soft-target ass a-quiver in her haste, you can’t help but wish you could pull her out of the film and take her with you some place nice where her naked innocence would forever survive. But alas, that didn’t happen. Nevertheless, Sandra’s violent fate in this film is still oddly arousing to the skin-ful flesh fiend in the audience. The experience may have scarred poor innocent Sandra, because she did not venture into the skin-tastic scene again during her tenure in showbiz. If you care to see more clothed ventures from this hottie, check out her work as “Cult Extra” in Legacy of Satan (1974), and “Bird” in Teenage Hitchhikers (1974). It’s as though Sandra can’t stay away from hippie-esque roles. We just hope that at some point we unearth more skin-ful fare from dear Sandra’s filmography.
