MORE FACTS

Was set to star in a remake of King Kong (as King Kong) but the idea was scrapped following Carrington's untimely demise

Was discovered scarfing down the Trucker's Breakfast at Moe's Diner in Wichita, Kansas, by well-known agent, Shifty Lazar

Though considered a great beauty, Carrington was unhappy with her slight overbite and had planned to have corrective surgery just before her death

Her eye-popping 37DDD bosom was used to its full advantage in Tickle My Tonsils. Carrington was suitably attired in nothing but a flimsy tank top and the shortest of shorts. The film was an instant hit!

Was a contestant on 1950s game show "Password". Carrington won five nights in a row and walked off with $3.50 in cold hard cash

Was once caught mid-wipe on the toilet at a cafe in Houston, Texas

Was crowned Miss Wy-Terash 1954 in an elaborate ceremony atop a garbage truck

Had a brief affair with her Truck Stop Love co-star, Buddy Thrush, whose career, incidentally, took a nosedive after Carrington's death. Thrush now sells shoes on the corner of 5th and 9th Avenues in Pittsburgh (current as of Oct 2005)

Julee's nubile body was never recovered but her soggy diaphragm and whip were found days later washed up at Pervert Point, California

A 1984 tell-all telemovie starring Estelle Tunkley as Carrington's domineering ex-vaudeville mother Roberta received rave reviews and garnered many awards, including a MOSCAR-TV award for Best Actress for Tunkley
