Virginia De Lee
- Actress
Virginia De Lee was a gorgeous redhead pin-up model of the late 50s and
early 60s with a lovely face, a shapely 36-25-36 figure, and a certain
sweetly sexy, yet still innocent girl next door allure. Virginia was
born in the mid 1930s in Hollywood, California. Her father was a
vaudeville magician and her mother was a wardrobe mistress at a film
studio. De Lee graced the covers and/or did pictorials in such men's
magazines as "Escapade," "Tempo," "Bold," "Sir!," "Stare," "Adam,"
"Caper," "Show," and "Playboy." Her sole motion picture credit was a
minor part as a stripper in the enjoyably gritty Grade B crime drama
"Hell Bound." Hungarian sculptor Joseph Dubronyi praised Virginia for
having a perfectly formed body. In October, 1957 De Lee divorced her
business manager husband Bennett Michael De Lee on charges of cruelty.
Virginia De Lee quit modeling in the early 60s, married another man,
and settled down in Sedona, Arizona.
