Nicky Marotta in the Studio
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThe WJAD studio, that is. This is an 8 x 10″ print with no border, with the little handwritten identification number 69-34A-4 added to the print in the lower right-hand corner. It was shot during the filming of the “Your Daughter Is One” performance, but doesn’t come close enough to any shot from the film…

Aggie Doon
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail“Words cannot express the sheer unbelievability of this performer and her material.” Here we have Robin on set at the Cleo Club, in the full Aggie Doon getup. Her hair is now slicked back, and the cheap Kent has been replaced with an expensive Rickenbacker 360 (funny how both guitars she uses in the film…

Nicky Marotta in Limbo
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Black limbo, that is. This photo isn’t one of the “Kodak paper” series, but I’m going through these photos in the order they’d appear in the film (since I don’t know the order in which they were shot), and this one comes next. Except… You know how I’ve been saying the pictures are from…

Foxy Miss Pearl
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail “I’m not dancing topless.” 12-year-old Trini Alvarado enacts 13-year-old Pamela Pearl making her debut as an exotic dancer, thankfully not topless. There are other images of this scene that were taken at the same time and differ only slightly, but I only have them published in magazines, on lobby cards, or in promotional…

Pammy and Nicky Escape (again)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Another 8×10 color print marked as Kodak paper from the 1970s-80s on the back. Normally when printing an 8×10 the image would be enlarged to fill the 8-inch dimension, cropping out about 2 inches of the longer dimension, but these photos are printed to show the entire exposure. I would say that was…

Pammy and Nicky On the Run
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail This is an 8×10 print, showing the full 35mm frame, of Nicky and Pammy running from the plainclothes detective, about to turn left and duck into the adult theater. The paper it’s printed on, as are most of the next batch of photos I’ll be posting, is stamped “THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY…

42nd & 6th
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail So: the girls are east of Times Square and headed for it. They’ve already traded clothes, and are on foot. In the film, this happens after they’ve been on the subway in those outfits, except they’re on their way to “the hideout” (as it’s called in the script). The hideout is described…

On Location
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis is the only photo I’ve come across showing the production of Times Square. The assistant director’s full name is is Alan Hopkins. In the center are, of course, Robin and Trini Alvarado. All the way to the right, we can see half of director Allan Moyle. This is the northwest corner of 42nd Street…

WJAD
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThe originals of these first two images weren’t collected by me. They’re located on an old, apparently long-abandoned Angelfire site on which Mr. Charles E. Rowe, Jr. documented some of his career in radio, part of which was spent at the Bainbridge, Georgia station WJAD (now WGEX). When these call letters were used for the…

Nicky Marotta, 1980
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail And this, of course, is the look they settled on for Nicky, ultimately using this photo on nearly all the American publicity materials. As this is the outfit she wears when the girls escape from the hospital, it was likely taken near the end of production, so the shaggy hair cut of someone who…
