I have been asked who the brunette in the B&W and grainy color photos with the distinct "sixties look" was/is I posted earlier in the week under the title "Vintage Heat".
Her name was Quentin Dean (Cederq thought I was pulling his leg when I told him that). I do not know and cannot find out very much about her. She was born July 27th, 1944 in Los Angeles County, CA as Corinne Ida Margolin. She died of cancer at the age of 58. She never married. Her acting career began in 1967 playing the role of nymphet Delores Purdy in the film In The Heat Of The Night. Her character was sixteen years old and Dean was 23 at that time. She played in three other films, including Stay Away Joe with Elvis Presley. Dean also made seven television film appearances. Her acting career ended abruptly in 1969. I have not been able to find out why. In 2014 Steve Hart and the Cadillac Angels recorded a song titled The Ballad of Quentin Dean. There are a few subtle hints as to what might have happened to Dean. If anyone knows or comes across anything, please post in the comments.
Below are a couple of Dean and Presley from Stay Away Joe
