Kitten Natividad is 60
A belated "happy 60th birthday" for Francesca Isabel Natividad, better known to the world as the buxom Mexican-American film actress and exotic dancer Kitten Natividad.
Kitten was born on February 1948 in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico (wikipedia claim the date of birth is Feb 14th; however the Internet Movie Database states Feb 13th) and is mostly known for her appearances in the cult movies directed by the late Russ Meyer, with whom she had an on-off relationship for 15 years.
Prior to her collaboration with Meyer, Kitten worked as a housekeeper for the actress Stella Stevens. She then turned to go-go dancing, before moving into stripping, culminating in being named Miss Nude Universe. Kitten has appeared in other mainstream films and also made hardcore adult movies in her later years (a decision she has since regretted, according to one website).
In October 1999 Kitten underwent double-mastectomy surgery for treatment of breast cancer, but this hasn't stopped her making movies (such as "Night at the Golden Eagle" in 2002) or appearing at burlesque/pin-up/cult film conventions.
