Tura Satana started exotic dancing when she was only 13 years old. She integrated acrobatics, humor, and sensual beauty to her dancing art form. As a dancer, she started doing guest appearances in films such as Derek Flint schickt seine Leiche (1966) and Wer hat in meinem Bett geschlafen? (1963) and made several films with low-budget auteur Ted V. Mikels. Her skills as a martial artist landed her small roles in TV shows such as Hawaiian Eye (1959), Solo für O.N.K.E.L. (1964), Dancer für U.N.C.L.E. (1966), Zirkusdirektor Johnny Slate (1963) and Amos Burke (1963).

  • Trivia
    Tura Satana legally owned her likeness and image. So, whenever Russ Meyer wanted to change the artwork or re-release the project Die Satansweiber von Tittfield (1965), he had to get Satana's permission and sometimes pay her again.
  • Quotes
    When I was dancing burlesque was an art--classy and elegant and requiring talent. I got out of it when it started to become raunchy and lost the art. Now they call it nude dancing, but it's plain old pornography as far as I'm concerned. They do things on stage that I wouldn't have even thought of doing.
