Anitra Ford began as a model during the sixties, but her heyday was definitely as a “Barker Beauty” on the Price Is Right from 1972-1976. During this time she appeared in numerous TV shows including Baretta, Starsky & Hutch, and Wonder Woman. She also had a small role in The Longest Yard, and was featured in numerous B movies of the period.Anitra’s fame dried up by the end of the seventies. She moved on to real estate in Santa Barabara. She is also a published poet…. which seems only natural, because to kids of the 70’s, Anitra was poetry in motion.
She makes even those hideous mustard-colored items seem like something I want to bid on!
ReplyDeleteThat black skirt is way too short! Looks inadequate to cover her fanny.
ReplyDeleteduhh... thats the point.
DeleteWas there any other reason to watch The Price is Right? :-)
ReplyDeleteDarius, a co-worker just showed me a hilarious video clip about a snake bite from an old movie... turns out, he was on your blog! Your influence is far reaching.
