I was first introduced to Tempest thru a movie called MUNDO DEPRAVADOS and then thru numerous documentaries about her life as well as film makers of the 60's and 70's.
Storm, whose real name was Annie Banks was a staple at the El Ray Berlesk in Oakland, California and her career was boosted in the 1940's and 50's with the help of filmmaker Russ Meyer.
Tempest had ample endowments and was never ashamed of that. It made her famous. She appeared in a few other films including PARIS AT MIDNIGHT and PARIS TOPLESS.
She passed away in Las Vegas on April 20th, 2021 at the age of 93. Her passing marks the end of the Burlesque Queens and a time that is sadly no more.
