In the early part of the decade, teens couldn\u2019t get enough of the bikini-clad beauties dancing on the beach or being wooed by Elvis at raucous clambakes in Pajama Party, A Swingin\u2019 Summer, Winter a-Go-Go, Blue Hawaii, and Kissin\u2019 Cousins.<\/p>\n<p>By 1966, however, young audiences clamored for more than what the beach or Presley films were offering as mini-skirted, go-go boot wearing, independent-minded chicks replaced bubbly beach girls in movies geared to young people who were racing to the nearest drive-in theater to catch Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Angels from Hell, The Cycle Savages, Maryjane, and Satan\u2019s Sadists.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the fantasy film was still a staple at the drive-in as teenagers craved to cheer on or ogle the pretty heroine in the newest way out spy spoof (Out of Sight, Come Spy with Me) or cheesy sci-fi adventure (Beyond the Time Barrier, Women of the Prehistoric Planet).<\/p>\n<p>Drive-in Dream Girls: A Galaxy of B-Movie Starlets of the Sixties pays homage to some of the sexy, young actresses who every teenage girl envied and every teenage boy desired. It offers interviews, profiles, surprising anecdotes, film and TV credits, and a plethora of photos of 50 groovy drive-in movie starlets including:<\/p>\n<p>Interviewees:<\/p>\n<p>    Sue Casey: Beach Girls and the Monster, Swamp Country, Catalina Caper<br \/>\n    Jackie DeShannon: Surf Party, C\u2019mon, Let\u2019s Live a Little<br \/>\n    Andrea Dromm: Come Spy with Me<br \/>\n    Gail Gilmore: The Girls on the Beach, Beach Ball, Girl Happy, Harum Scarum, Village of the Giants<br \/>\n    Laurel Goodwin: Girls!
