SHEENA 2000

Gena Lee Nolin (born November 29, 1971) is an American actress and model. She is best known for her television appearances on The Price Is Right and Baywatch in the 1990s.




Biography
Nolin was born in Duluth, Minnesota. During her childhood, Nolin lived on a farm. An athletic child, she enjoyed ice fishing, mens basketball, volleyball and softball. She moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she worked as a waitress. She later entered the Miss Las Vegas beauty pageant--and went on to win the title.

After becoming Miss Las Vegas, Nolin got the attention of several modeling agencies. She then moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue acting and study interior design at Santa Monica College. Nolin first worked as a waitress in Los Angeles.

Nolin's first marriage, to David Alan Feiler in 1991, lasted a month and a day. He would later go on to stalk her, forcing her to get a restraining order.[citation needed]

In 1993, she met Greg Fahlman at a convention where he was giving out fliers; they married on November 27, 1993. Later in 1993, Nolin received breast implants. A year later, she saw a newspaper ad for the popular, long-running game show, The Price Is Right. She beat out 1,200 other women to become one of the show's Barker's Beauties. Soon afterward, Nolin appeared in the soap opera, The Young and the Restless as a model named Sandy.

In 1995, Nolin starred in her biggest role as Neely Capshaw in he television series Baywatch (becoming the second actress to play the controversial character, who was originally created to appear as a one-episode part). In June 1997, her only child with Fahlman, son Spencer, was born. Later in the year, Nolin began modelling, for the first time since her pregnancy, for Maxim. In 1998, Nolin quit Baywatch and started her own show, Sheena (TV series), in 2000. In late 2001, Nolin posed nude for Playboy magazine, further increasing her fame. In 2002, Sheena was cancelled.

In 2004, Nolin divorced Fahlman and began dating NHL hockey player Cale Hulse. Around this time, an explicit sex tape of her and Fahlman began to appear on the internet.

On September 3, 2004, Hulse and Nolin were married at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. Their son, Hudson Lee Hulse, was born on April 15, 2006, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Luana -

Here are a couple of pieces of Frank Frazetta artwork used to promote the LUANA film. A foreign film from the early 70's. Another Jungle girl to add to the list of wild women.

BOB LARKIN !

I don't think this is really a JUNGLE GIRL piece. It's more of a BARBARIAN chick but the fact she's wearing fur and has a big sabre-tooth just gives me inspiration.
BTW I am going to be finding this book and enjoying BOB LARKIN's great and fantastic SAVAGE art.

Mike Grell...

Anyone who has read Mike Grell's WARLORD series for DC knows MIKE CAN DRAW jungles and girls.... here is a SHANNA or maybe SHEENA piece from the JUNGLE GIRL gallery easily found on the interweb.

Jennifer of the jungle?

When I was akid I used to watch the Electric company for 2 reasons...SPIDEY and Jennifer of the jungle...Jennifer was a goofy jungle girl in the typical leopard animal print and I could not take my eyes off of her. Even though she was goofy I was attracted to her anyway...was it the animal print? Was it her legs? Was it her goofy ditzie way of speaking? I dunno but she got me through my childhood and her and her sidekick Paul the gorilla taught me how to read. Photo's of her were tough to come by but I did manage to scare up a desktop and a SPIDEY ( Electric company ) comic book cover...thanks to cover browser. ;)

LORNA the jungle queen

I found a really cool article to copy and paste on TOONOPEDIA but because it's protected I could not copy it to paste it. Instead I pulled this shmutz off of Wikipedia.
Basically it kind of tells you that SHEENA - created by Will Eisner is the first official comic book jungle girl and RIMA- is actually the first Jungle girl in literature. But LORNA a marvel character had a series in the 1950's at first she was LORNA the jungle queen for a few issues and then they demoted her to just being " The Jungle girl " no matter she's a Jungle girl nonetheless!

JUNGLE GIRL ( a stock character)

A jungle girl (so-called, usually an adult woman) is an archetype or stock character, often used in popular fiction, of a female adventurer or superhero in the jungles or rain forests of, primarily, Africa. The jungle girl is generally depicted as wearing a scanty animal skin as a dress or bikini. Though hair color varied, they are often depicted with long blonde hair. They are the female counterpart of such characters as Tarzan.

Jungle girls are often highly intelligent and some can communicate with animals. They are strong fighters, runners and swimmers, with high endurance levels, and often swing through trees on vines. Jungle girls often come into conflict with civilization and hostile tribes, often to find peaceful solutions to preserve their jungle environments.

The first such character was Rima from the 1904 novel Green Mansions. One popular character, adapted into various media, is Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, who, though created by American writer-artists Will Eisner and Jerry Iger, made her debut in the British magazine Wags #1 (1937). Sheena went on to star in the American comic book anthology series Jumbo Comics the following year.

JUNGLE GRRRL...WOW ( the women of wrestling )

I have many hobbies one of my hobbies was at one time being a fan of pro wrestling.
I occasionally watch it now but have kind of outgrown it. I do catch the WWE DIVAS in action once in awhile. One lady wrestling personality that I was a big fan of was
of course a Jungle girl character named JUNGLE GRRRL !
Erica Porter was WOW's answer to Tarzan. Erica Porter aka Jungle Grrrl not only looked very athletic during WOW but she obviously worked hard to improve with every match she had. Jungle Grrrl was one of the best wrestlers in WOW and was given a push as such. Jungle Grrrl looked solid with favorite moves including a splash and a diving head. After WOW finished up Erica took a while off to recover from a shoulder injury but then returned to the ring to work the Indy circuit. As Jungle Grrl Erica had a catchphrase "Don't hunt what you can't kill." and if WOW was to return her more advanced experience now might just make those words ring true. Since WOW Erica also scored a small movie role alongside Randy Savage in the first Spiderman movie and continues to pursue both wrestling and acting.

RIMA

Rima the Jungle Girl pre dates all of them. Every jungle character ever.

Rima was the heroine of the 1904 Victorian-era novel Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest by Argentine-British writer W. H. Hudson, a naturalist who wrote many classic books about the ecology of South America. Hudson based Rima on a persistent South American legend about a lost tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. DC Comics adapted the character in a short-lived comic book series, Rima the Jungle Girl in 1974.


All but forgotten now, the 7-issue run of her monthly series is of significance within the world of comics, because it features rarely seen interior artwork by famed Filipino illustrator Nestor Redondo and covers by Joe Kubert. Rima the Jungle Girl is noteworthy as one of DC's first major publishing efforts (other than Wonder Woman) to feature a woman hero as the titular star of her own book. The ecology movement of the early 1970s also made her stories very timely. Writer Robert Kanigher, used many themes showing Rima passively interfering with predatory hunters and natives rather than engaging them in outright battles.


Like other jungle girls, Rima is always scantily-clad and barefoot, however unlike the literary character, DC’s Rima is a fully-grown and powerful woman with Ashe-blond hair. In the Hudson novel Rima the Bird Girl was 17 years old, small (4' 6"), demure, and dark-haired. Natives avoided her forest, calling her "the Daughter of the Didi" (an evil spirit), but Rima's only true defense is a reputation for magic, earned through the display of such strange talents as talking to birds, befriending other animals and occasionally plucking poison darts from the air.


Trivia: Green Mansions became a 1959 film for MGM Studios starring Audrey Hepburn as Rima. This filmed adaptation deviated far from the novel; in particular, Hepburn's Rima was simply a mysterious girl who lived on her parents' plantation.

Blue Lagoon - Jungle lass'

Who could forget the stranded children from Blue Lagoon...Brooke Shields was up and coming and this was the film that actually got her more mature roles. She did have a history as a young model for a famous JEANS company and then her turn in PRETTY BABY got everybody upset what with subject matter of the film and all. Then our favorite ZOMBIE killing hot chick Milla Jovavich in the sequel....both these Jungle girls made quite a splash in HOLLYWOOD. Yes indeed.

Art from around the jungle

Here are a couple of Jungle pieces from Graphic artist Mike Dubisch.

Tony Dezuniga Art of the She Devil.

Shanna the She-Devil by Tony DeZuniga
Ever wondered what Shanna the She-Devil would look like as played by Jane Fonda? Sure you did. For the answer to that burning search-query look no further than the portfolio by Tony DeZuiniga published in Rampaging Hulk #9 magazine back in June 1978.The portfolio prefaced a rollicking Shanna revenge-tale written by Steve Gerber and also illustrated by Tony DeZuniga. I'm surprised that Gerber wrote this as its themes make it feel more like a Chris Claremont work. The Shanna story featured kinky sex with a python, multiple scenes of bondage, menstrual feminine-power symbolism and nearly every cliche' from the golden age of Fiction House jungle adventure comics. Not to say it is a bad story. Steve Gerber revamped Shanna to be less the weeping environmentalist and more the psychotic butt-kicking avenger of the jungle. Too bad it didn't take. She got so annoying in Ka-Zar, I'm surprised Kevin didn't shoot himself in the head.In general I like Tony DeZuniga art. New readers to comics may recognize him as the long time (and recent guest) inker on DC's Jonah Hex title. He is the quintessential inker, if not artist, for Jonah. His recent stint on the Jonah Hex book showed how easily he could take the current creative team to school. It isn't enough to make Hex ugly, you have to make him grimy.Yet in this instance it leaves me unsatisfied. Artwise the Shanna story is a fanboy's wank dream of power fantasies, breasts and furry thongs barely covering firm buttocks. The art is definitely the primary storyteller as it overpowers the script, something that is not always good for a comic (as the 90's proved). The panel layouts seem familiar, too, as if panels were cribbed from Ben Casey strips by Neal Adams and old romance comics. That may not be fair to DeZuniga, though, as there are certainly a finite number of "celibate sex-kitten whore" poses you can render the female form into. Of course, that didn't stop anyone in the 90's from trying to expand on the concept anyway.You can see the Shanna the She-Devil portfolio by clicking the picture hard... No, harder! Harder! Yesyesyes, like that...

Movie posters dot com ~ ; > )

Many times I find my pics to copy and paste from sources on the net. One good place for pics or posters or lobby cards is Movie posters .com tay've got a vast array of prints and originals.

You can buy and have them send you a print or poster or you can have it custom framed. I myself have few ;obby cards from Sinbad and Tarzan films as well as signed aotographed 8 x 10's . I consider it a great source for any collector.

other JUNGLE GIRLS of note

Who could forget Raquel Welch in her fur bikini? Honorable mention must go to Linda Harrison as the mute NOVA in the Planet of the apes films. Three women got to play SHEENA in Hollywood....Irish Mcallah in the 50's , Tanya Roberts in the 1980's film and Geena lee Nolin in the 90's. All these women make animal print more magnetic!
