Cheri Caffaro is an American actress who appeared mainly in low-budget exploitation films in the 1970s.[1][2]
Career
In 1960, a fifteen-year-old Pasadena resident, she won a Life-magazine-reported Brigitte Bardot look-alike contest,[3] beating a twelve-year-old Portland Mason.[4]
In the early 1970s, she was directed by then-husband and Manhattan theatre owner Don Schain in a series of softcore sexploitation action films,[5] most notably the "Ginger" trilogy, consisting of Ginger, The Abductors[6][7][8] and Girls Are For Loving. Caffaro played Ginger McAllister, a tough and resourceful bed-hopping private-eye and spy. Her missions involved busting up seedy wrongdoers involved in drugs, prostitution and white slavery. Her character also spends an inordinate amount of time bound and gagged[9] and/or raped.[10][11][12]
Caffaro also appeared in A Place Called Today and Too Hot To Handle[13] (both also directed by Schain). She was quickly stereotyped, became disenchanted with the direction her film career had taken and disappeared from the public eye.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
She has also been credited with an appearance on the TV show Baretta, and as a writer and producer of the 1979 sex comedy H.O.T.S. Her last screen credit is noted as a character voice in an episode of the 1997 animated TV series Extreme Ghostbusters.
