10/23/2017 1 Comment Carol DodaCarol Ann Doda was a topless dancer in San Francisco, California who was active from the 1960s through the 1980s. She was the first public topless dancer. Wikipedia Died: November 9, 2015, San Francisco, CA Movies: Head, Honky Tonk Nights In 1964 Doda made international news, first by dancing topless at the city's Condor Club, then by enhancing her bust from size 34 to 44 through silicone injections. Her breasts became known as Doda's "twin 44s" and "the new Twin Peaks of San Francisco".[2] On June 19, 1964,[8] when Doda was 26 years old, the Condor's publicist, "Big" Davy Rosenberg gave Doda a "monokini" topless swimsuit designed by Rudi Gernreich.[4] She performed topless that night, the first noted entertainer of the era to do so. The act was an instant success.[4] Two months after she started her semi-nude performances, the rest of San Francisco's Broadway was topless, followed soon after by entertainers across America.[5] Doda became an American cultural icon of the 1960s.[citation needed] Sly Stone was a young guitarist in the Condor's house band, but soon after Doda began performing topless he left.[citation needed] The Republican National Convention was held in San Francisco, during the summer of 1964; many of the delegates came to see Carol Doda. She was profiled in Tom Wolfe's 1968 book The Pump House Gang and appeared that same year as Sally Silicone in Head, the 1968 film created by Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson, and featuring The Monkees. The movie was produced by Columbia Pictures.[11]She appeared in a Golden Boy parody with Annette Funicello, Sonny Liston, and Davy Jones.[12]
