About Virginia Bell

Virginia "Ding Dong" Bell (born August 14 1934 in Montrose, California, - July 18, 2010) was an American pin up model and burlesque dancer. Standing only 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m), with a 48-inch bust, she started her career in the 1950s.
Russ Meyer (photographer, cult film maker, and patron saint of dirty old men) had a knack at finding women with large...uh...talents. Case in point, California burlesque cutie Virginia "Ding-Dong" Bell. In the era of buxom bombshells like June Wilkinson and Jayne Mansfield and other big-named strippers like Tempest Storm, Bell is the mountain among the molehills. Packing a 48-24-36 figure into a five-foot-two-inch (!) frame, Bell really but the "bump" in bump and grind. Even though her career was short, she sure made an impact into the glamour/pin-up culture. And impact that lives on today. It seems she has as many fans now as she did during the height of her career over forty years ago.
