Althea Currier (born 1942) was a popular glamour model and erotic B-movie star of the 1960s. She was supposedly born in England but raised in Woodland, Maine.^{[citation needed]}

She moved to Southern California and worked as a dance instructor for almost two years at a studio on the Sunset Strip with a partner named Jack Simmons. Currier and Simmons were featured in the 1962 Volume 6, No. 6 issue of Adam magazine in a photo layout of a "twist party". Althea supposedly worked as chorus girl in San Francisco for a while.^{[citation needed]}

Althea was then supposedly "discovered" by Chuck Landis, who was the owner of the Largo Strip Club in L.A.^{[citation needed]} This led to Althea becoming involved in glamour/nude modeling; she appeared in many magazines of the era, including Mosaic, Modern Man, Adam, Scamp, All Man, etc. She is also featured in Adam magazine's 1964 full-color calendar.^{[citation needed]} Althea wrote an advice column in Adam magazine from 1964 to 1967, and appeared in occasional layouts in the magazine.^{[citation needed]}

Althea also appeared in films directed by Peter Perry and Russ Meyer.
