Chesty Morgan (real name Lillian Stello)[1] is a Polish-born,[citation needed] American,[2] retired exotic dancer of Jewish descent who also starred in two films directed by Doris Wishman.[3] Morgan was billed as having a 73-inch bust measurement.[1]
Career
Unlike many of the modern adult entertainment stars with large breasts, Morgan's were not augmented with implants. According to the 1988 edition of Guinness Movie Facts & Feats, her bust measurement is the largest on record for a film star.[4]
She began her career as an exotic dancer in the early 1970s; her last performance as an exotic dancer was in Houston on the first night of the Persian Gulf War in 1991.[1]
She starred in two Doris Wishman films: Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73. She was also filmed by Federico Fellini as Barbarina in Fellini's Casanova, but her scenes were cut.[1] Clips from Doris Wishman's two 1970s sexploitation films, based around Morgan's very large breasts, were featured in John Waters' 1994 film, Serial Mom. Waters also wrote a role for Morgan in his never-made feature Flamingos Forever.[citation needed]
Personal life
As a young girl growing up near Warsaw, Poland, she was orphaned when her parents were killed by the Nazis after the invasion of Poland. Sent to Israel, she lived in a series of orphanages before ending up in a kibbutz,[1] Ein Gev.[citation needed]
She married an American and moved to New York in the 1960s; he was killed in a Brooklyn robbery in 1965, when she was 27 and her two daughters were 4 years old and 4 months old.[1][2] In 1974,[citation needed] Morgan married National League baseball umpire Dick Stello. The two divorced in 1979, but remained friends.[1]
As of 2009, she was retired and living in Florida.[1]
