Now, this scene is not gratuitous, but Stefanelli was only 16 years old while shooting this scene.
It was a year and a half before she accepted another film offer but she was meeting actors and connected with actor Christopher Jones, hot off the film, Wild in the Streets and being talked about as the next James Dean.
Pretty much the definition of gratuitous.
She met and married a Japanese singer, Akira Fuse, had a baby boy before a third marriage to 'stone-cold rock star hunk', David Glenn Eisley, in 1991.
So much so that some of the straight guys would get kind of pseudo-jealous especially the single ones.
Dawn was born in October 1964 in Austin, Texas.
