Episode Description

Tura Satana was used to being kicked down by life: as a kid, she was held in a Japanese internment camp, then was brutally gang-raped when she got out, before being married off at only 13. But Tura turned the tables and started kicking life’s ass right back: she mastered karate, made thousands with her burlesque act, and even informed on the Mafia! When Hollywood came calling, she created one of the most badass B-movie action heroines in cinema history: the belted, buckled, and booted Varla in Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Plus, she had flings with everyone from Elvis to Sinatra to Joe DiMaggio!
