Car Girl #4

Someone out there likes Pier Angeli. Tasty hair. Tasty legs.
And tasty wheels. Life doesn't get any better.

Photographs of actress Gretchen Corbett (aka Beth Davenport from the TV show The Rockford Files) are as scarce as hen's teeth on the Internet. I thought I'd try to remedy that. She's doing legitimate theatre now. Her daughter, Winslow Corbett (last picture at the bottom) is an actress, too.
