Ellan Fartt
Nude

Despite her surname, Ellan Fartt does not stink. Quite the opposite, she’s a fragrant rose, sadly plucked for only one performance, before wilting from the screen and leaving us with only her scent. That movie, though, was a good one. It was the Nicolas Roeg-helmed thriller Bad Timing (1980), subtitled “A Sensual Obsession.” Taking place in Vienna, the plot unfolds in flashbacks as police try to understand why a young woman tried to kill herself with pills. The police suspect foul play, but the only foul play we can see comes from Ellan and it’s foul most sexy. She plays an acrobat who is wearing little more than black string, as she does her tricks. We wish her tricks included letting us be her john.
