Hot Slut Of The Day!

Edy Williams, the bright shining Queen of the Oscars Red Carpet in the 70s, 80s and 90s

Last night, while looking at pictures from one of the greatest Oscars of all-time, the 1989 Oscars (where a probably coked up Rob Lowe sang “Proud Mary” with Snow White and Demi Moore wore biker shorts) my eyeballs tingles and my eyelashes caught on fire when they landed on pictures of this exquisitely delicate orchid in sequined nipple pasties and a dog in her arms. I immediately fell into an Edy Williams k hole and came out feeling much more educated about the history of Oscars glamour.

Edy Williams is an actress who started out in TV in the 1960s and had small roles in The Twilight Zone (“chorus girl”), Batman (“brunette girl”) and Lost In Space (“non speaking role“). In 1970, she finally got her big break when she starred in the big-budget cinematic extravaganza Beyond The Valley of the Dolls, which was directed by B-movie prince Russ Meyer. Edy became Russ’ third and final wife in 1970. They got a divorce in 1975 and she continued to act in sexploitation movies like Chained Heat and Mankillers. Even though Edy’s acting resume could fill Meryl Streep with jealousy, her legacy is injecting heaping servings of elegance, charisma and showwomanship into the Oscars since the 70s.

The first picture at the Oscars I could find of Edy was from 1974 when she wore a leopard bikini. The last picture at the Oscars I found was from 1999 when her right nipple decided to make an appearance. Between 1974 and 1999, Edy covered the Oscars red carpet with thick layers of glitter and sophistication over 15 times. Apparently, she never made it inside for the actual ceremony, but who cares. The real show was on the red carpet and Edy Williams was its star! Edy is a dog lover, so she would sometimes bring one of her dogs who made the same “The fuck is going on?” face that everyone else made when looking at Edy. Today, Edy still makes an appearance at Oscar parties and her website is an artistic wonderland.

Here’s a hot clip from the 1988 Oscars of Edy magically appearing behind Jeanne Wolf of Entertainment Tonight and gliding toward her like a goddess floating out of the sea. I’m assuming that Jeanne Wolf was later fired from Entertainment Tonight and blacklisted from the industry for shooing away the Queen of the Oscars Red Carpet (not to be confused with the Empress of the Oscars, Sally Kirkland).

Phoebe Price, Bai Ling, Jodie Marsh, Micaela Schaefer, Courtney Stodden, Maitland Ward and the other genteel, demure and modest roses of the red carpet need to get on their knees and bow down to Edy Williams for paving the way for them! I can already tell you that tonight’s Oscars are probably going to suck, because they’re not devoting at least a full hour to honoring this precious jewel of the red carpet.
