Carol Doda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carol Doda was a famous stripper in San Francisco in the 1960s. She worked at the Condor Club and the large lit sign in front of the club featured a picture of her. Doda's act began with a grand piano lowered from the ceiling by hydraulic motors; Doda would be atop the piano dancing. Doda was renowned for her big bust, one of the first well known to be surgically enhanced. Her bust was a size 34B before silicone injections increased her to a size 44D.

Doda appeared in Head, the 1968 film created by Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson, and featuring The Monkees.

In the late 1960s through the late 1970s, Doda was the spokesmodel for San Jose, California television station KICU Channel 36. Filmed from the waist up and wearing clothes which amplified her most prominent physical assets, she would coo "You're watching the Perfect 36 in San Jose." She would also occasionally appear on-air to do editorial commentary on the issues of the day.

Doda retired from stripping in the 1980s and now runs a lingerie shop in San Francisco.
