Fran Jeffries (born 18 May 1937, Birth Name; Frances Makris - in San Jose, California) was a singer/actress/model in the 1960s and early-1970s. She had a cameo in the 1963 film The Pink Panther, in which she sang a song called Meglio Stasera (It Had Better Be Tonight) while sashaying around a fireplace. She also sang a number in the first sequel, A Shot in the Dark. Her figure was highlighted, albeit briefly, in a minor role in Sex and The Single Girl. In each of these films her most marketable asset--fanny wiggling--prominently held the spotlight. To that end, she was featured to good advantage in Playboy magazine a few years later when her career was faltering, in 1971. A decade later she disrobed a second time for Playboy's lenses with a much more provocative and suggestive pictorial in 1982--at a youthful-looking age of 45. This latter pictorial revealed a great deal more of Ms. Jeffries' remarkable shape, once again showcasing her phenomenal posterior. An extremely telling homage to those "bottom shaking" scenes in her early film career.
