Judy Bamber

Lovely, buxom, and shapely blonde bombshell Judith Lee Bamber was born on October 13, 1936 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is of mixed German-English and American Indian descent. Her father was an engineer with the Ford Motor Company. Judy started modeling while in high school so she could lose weight and correct her posture. Following graduation from Dearborn High School in 1954, Bamber moved to Detroit to further pursue a modeling career. While in Detroit, Judy met television announcer Frank Robinson, whom she eventually married. In 1955, she moved to Los Angeles, California and worked as a carhop, a laundry clerk, a babysitter, and a dishwater before her modeling career took off. Bamber briefly owned her own agency and modeled for the J.C. Penney catalog. She then began doing live commercials and was eventually discovered by Nils Thor Granlund, who set her up with drama coach Joe Graham. Judy attended Warner Brothers Acting School. Her personal manager Bryon Griffin got her contracts with both Warner Brothers and American International Pictures. (Both contracts were subsequently dropped when the two studios found out about this.)
