David Hepworth | 15 April 2009 - 12:15pm

Jane Fonda?

Based entirely on a hazy recollection of barbarella...

Dr.Pill | 15 April 2009 - 12:24pm

Ann Margaret

0
James Blast | 15 April 2009 - 1:00pm

In an ideal world...

she would be Tipper Gore.

0
Lando Cakes | 15 April 2009 - 1:17pm

And Frank's teeth

would be at throat height...

0
Mark JF | 15 April 2009 - 1:26pm

Out of sync

I'd have said Julia Roberts, fer sher, except she was about 8 when Zappa was that age.

0
Archie Valparaiso | 15 April 2009 - 1:21pm

Farah Fawcett Majors?

Or Suzy Creamcheese?

0
Mark JF | 15 April 2009 - 1:24pm

Clue

No. Try harder.

0
David Hepworth | 15 April 2009 - 1:55pm

shane pacey | 15 April 2009 - 2:34pm

Ursula Andress?

the clue being (Doctor) No?

0
badartdog | 15 April 2009 - 2:52pm

It's not..

Old Cynthia Plastercaster is it?

0
shane pacey | 15 April 2009 - 3:01pm
Molesworth | 15 April 2009 - 7:54pm

Well if it's not a Plastercaster...

...maybe Goldie Hawn?

0
Ian McGillis | 15 April 2009 - 3:37pm

Also looks a bit like..

Madonna, circa Like a Virgin, but surely the chronology vis a vis Frank is all wrong there.

0
Ian McGillis | 15 April 2009 - 3:38pm

I know...

you said she's not a musician, but that shouldn't disqualify Madonna. (Boom-boom!)

0
Ian McGillis | 15 April 2009 - 3:40pm

X Factor

Sharon Osborne? And she actually looks a bit like Cheryl Cole...

0

Clerk Kent | 15 April 2009 - 4:50pm

Raquel

Cobweb Steve | 15 April 2009 - 5:33pm

Trick Question!

Is it a man?

0
Fergus Higginson | 15 April 2009 - 6:28pm

is it

Britt Ekland?

0
Glenbervie | 15 April 2009 - 6:47pm

A bit ghoulish

Is it Sharon Tate? She & Zappa (and sundry Mamas & Papas, Byrds, Jim Morrison & more freaks than you could shake joss stick at) used to hang out in Laurel Canyon before Manson came calling.

0
Graham Johns | 15 April 2009 - 7:16pm

Roy Levy | 15 April 2009 - 7:33pm

Try Harder..

0
geacher53 | 15 April 2009 - 7:39pm

Karen Carpenter?

...based on the 'not a musician' clue.

0
Lando Cakes | 15 April 2009 - 7:50pm

The voice is a musical instrument isn’t it?

In which case Karen Carpenter was one of the greatest musicians in the history of pop music.
Pretty decent drummer too.

0
Richard Lowe | 15 April 2009 - 8:00pm

Harsh!

Karen was a lovely underrated singer and--little known fact even among fans--a fine drummer too.

0
Ian McGillis | 15 April 2009 - 8:02pm

Great singer

I agree - lovely voice. Was simply harking back to the old "what do you call someone who hangs around with musicians" joke (amongst others).

0
Lando Cakes | 15 April 2009 - 8:12pm

I know Geri Halliwell always lied about her age

but who’d have thought she was knocking around with old Frank way back then.

0
Richard Lowe | 15 April 2009 - 7:58pm

Carrie

Fisher?

0
Melville | 15 April 2009 - 8:05pm

Is it Moon Unit?

Could that be his daughter?

Hey does anyone remember a US sitcom from WAY BACK in the day that actually starred Moon Unit (and if I'm not mistaken Dweezil too?)

0
fastforward | 15 April 2009 - 8:18pm

Susan Sontag?!

Straws being clutched as I type...

0
Patrick Crowther | 15 April 2009 - 8:18pm

Uh... I take it back

Sorry, that actually looks NOTHING like Moon Unit. And I found the sitcom: 'Normal Life.' Along with a cast photo.

Bad 90s sitcoms: Yeeerch. Thank you for saving us HBO!

Claudia Cardinale?

0
spodify | 15 April 2009 - 11:43pm

Julie Christie?

Certainly at least Frank's equal in the icon department.

0
Ian McGillis | 16 April 2009 - 12:47am

Candice..

..Bergen?

0
shane pacey | 16 April 2009 - 4:10am

Left field:

Carole King?

0
Sam Fiddian | 16 April 2009 - 4:36am

We have a winner

It is, as Spodify correctly noted above, Claudia Cardinale, and was taken for the October 1967 edition of the American magazine Cavalier in which the Italian screen goddess posed with various members of the California rock crowd. Somebody's selling a copy here if you want one.

Round about the same time Claudia's picture was being used on the gatefold of Bob Dylan's "Blonde On Blonde" (below) but had to be withdrawn from later pressings because permission had not been granted.

David Hepworth | 16 April 2009 - 5:11am

Household name?

HOUSEHOLD NAME? Not in my house it's not. And, unless I'm suffering from one of Danny Baker's gaps in my cultural knowledge, Claudia Cardinale is NOT "at least as famous" as Frank Zappa.

Is she?

0
matthew | 16 April 2009 - 5:59am

Which household

would you be referring to, David?

0
Sam Fiddian | 16 April 2009 - 6:05am

Certainly not in my household...

...I've never heard of her.

0
Colin H | 16 April 2009 - 10:07am

Literally...

...never heard that name. Rings no bell whatsoever to this 40-something.

0
kb | 16 April 2009 - 11:01am

Nor to this

30-something.

0
Cadabra | 16 April 2009 - 5:28pm

Fab movie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_the_West

One of the best spaghetti westerns (no Clint); but with Ms C

0
Glenbervie | 16 April 2009 - 5:49pm

I obviously

Live in the wrong sort of house.

0
Thomas the Rhymer | 16 April 2009 - 1:01pm

In my house

Claudia was and is a goddess at the very centre of the firmament. Rare are the days when I do not recall her startling contribution to the Pink Panther and.......er, Once upon a Time in the West and.....er.....
Anyway, the point is that Ms Cardinale, along with Tina Turner, burned her way onto my teenage retina and has caused chaos in my relations with the gentle sex ever since, at least according to the various Lady Spods littered over the decades.

0
spodify | 16 April 2009 - 6:41am

Whereas

I'd never heard of her.

0
Fraser Lewry | 16 April 2009 - 7:46am

She'd put hairs

on your chin...

0
Molesworth | 16 April 2009 - 5:47pm

And 8 1/2

0
Molesworth | 16 April 2009 - 8:33am

She's not even as famous as..

..Jimmy Carl Black.

0
shane pacey | 16 April 2009 - 6:54am

Maybe so

But she fills a dress way better than he did

0
Molesworth | 16 April 2009 - 8:08am

Some proof

May cause overheating in Spodify...


0
Molesworth | 16 April 2009 - 8:29am

Hot Hot Heat

Have to admit to never having heard of Sra Cardinale before either, can't think why as there was more appeal in a single one of those photos than a decade's worth of Maxim / FHM etc (per DH's post on his own blog).

0
DougieJ | 16 April 2009 - 10:35pm

Have you SEEN..

..the "We're Only In It For The Money" cover?

And for all Jimmy's winsome charm, give me a shufti at Claudia any day

I see now it wasn't quiz it was a question ?

0
Chris G | 16 April 2009 - 9:54am

David has worked out..

..how to host photos.
It'll be a passing thing, no doubt.

0
shane pacey | 16 April 2009 - 9:59am

blimey

bad loser central. More of this kind of thing please.

badartdog | 16 April 2009 - 11:35am

Claudia update:

I'm not exactly eating humble pie here but I've just found out I own one of her films on super 8! Like a lot of super 8 films it's strangely edited to size in my version they cut out the main battle scenes!!
I'll put on a showing at next massive barbque twiggy ale supping and beard stroking soiree.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Professionals_(film)

0
Chris G | 16 April 2009 - 3:48pm

What!?

OK well I've never heard of her. Ever. Maybe it's because she isn't a musician. Or something.

This is one of those moments when I feel like I'm WAY too young for this magazine...

0
fastforward | 16 April 2009 - 8:16pm

A pre-CC poster writes

I've been looking for a while for a single figure to represent the watershed between those of the Massive who more or less remember the Sixties and those who more or less don't. It's now clear that Claudia the Divine is that figure.

0
Archie Valparaiso | 17 April 2009 - 8:05am

I've head of CC

but I always get her confused with that Gina Lollabrigida - both were in circus films that I remember watching on Sunday afternoons.

0
Sven Garlic | 17 April 2009 - 1:44pm

who's that girl?

For all those unsophisticated and way too young, you should know that Claudia Cardinale was, like, the Angelina Jolie of the Sixties, only way hotter, and if Frank was physically around today he would probably NOT pose for magazines with Angelina, so there...but that's definitely Claudia Cardinale. (Google "Cafe Zappa Budapest" to see another picture from the same photo session).
