[how women in '60s movies influenced his art] I was born in 1950, so Jayne Mansfield knocked my socks off. The girls in the Dracula movies were always hot, but especially after becoming the Brides of Dracula. In the '60s, I was totally into surf, hot rod, monster, and Hercules and later hippy movies. All of those featured wonderful girls in skimpy outfits in distress. And all kinds of styles and fads and ideas filtered through Hollywood. It all had an effect on the way my mind is put together.
