Melinda Clarke
Nude

How did an auburn beach bunny from Dana Point, California, grow up to become the ultimate icon of goth-chick excess? Was Melinda Clarke‘s transformation from a sweet-faced nymphet with billowy, real-flesh tits into the self-mutilating zombie slut of Return of the Living Dead III (1993) the result of rebellion against the cultural aspirations of her soap actor father and her ballet dancer mom? Whatever. Why ask how come when you can enjoy the BDSM overtones of a fitfully clothed zombie broad feverishly piercing her nipples, ears, cheeks, and stomach? Later, she’s gagged and suspended in a harness from the ceiling of a cage. Fans of traditional skin sightings may prefer Return to Two Moon Junction (1995), where the two halves of Melinda’s moon junction are repeatedly turned to the camera. You can also make out her boobs and butt through black body paint in Killer Tongue (1996). Probably sensing that it could never be as much fun as the filming of Living Dead III, Two Moon Junction, or Killer Tongue, Melinda turned down the Rose McGowan part in Scream (1996). Since then, she’s become one of TV’s premiere bad asses, with guest spots on Xena: Warrior Princess, Charmed, Firefly, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She eventually landed the incandescent role as ultimate rich bitch Julie Cooper (the mom of Mischa Barton‘s character) on the smash Fox soap The O.C. But Mr. Skin thinks her best TV role was Amanda the torturer on the action thriller Nikita. This gal can’t escape BDSM roles if she tried. We wouldn’t want to escape from a Melinda BDSM role!
