Candice Roman, a ravishingly slender and vibrant blonde actress, left an indelible mark on the realm of 1970s exploitation cinema, despite her relatively brief yet impactful career.
Her most notable and captivating performance was undoubtedly as the effervescent nymphomaniac Carla in Jack Hill's side-splitting, tongue-in-cheek women-in-prison parody, "The Big Bird Cage". Roman's portrayal of Carla was nothing short of delightful, infusing the character with an infectious energy and charm.
Moreover, Roman proved to be equally captivating as Donna, the endearingly eccentric stripper best friend of Claudia Jennings, in the wonderfully raucous and unapologetic "Unholy Rollers". Her on-screen presence added a layer of depth and warmth to the film, making her a standout character.
In addition to her more lighthearted roles, Roman also demonstrated her range by delivering a chilling performance as an evil hippie cult member in the lurid and unsettling "The Manson Massacre". Her portrayal of this dark and sinister character added a level of authenticity to the film, making her a memorable presence on screen.
Sadly, Candice Roman's acting career came to an abrupt halt after appearing in these three films, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances and a lasting impact on the world of exploitation cinema.
