If nothing else, Dorian Dennis has that dark and dangerous Femme Fatale look down pat. She's the type of villainess any private-eye would be happy to fall victim too. When you look at her photos you get a sneaking suspicion that she is the spider and you a juicy fly that just landed into her web. In one magazine, she is quoted as saying, "You can have the 'goody-and-sweet' type. It's the mean gal's role that pays."
     This raven-haired dame made a name for herself working the burlesque circuit under the banner of "Dee-Dee" which was shorthand for both her name and also stood for "Double Dynamite." "Double Dynamite" being a name that spoke more to the TNT she had packed into that 39 inch bust of hers rather than her explosive dance routines. But there is also a bit of irony in her nickname, since she didn't start dancing until after she got a degree in chemistry from New York University.
     Dennis is also know for modeling work she did in the late 1950's for famed photographer Irving Klaw--the same guy who also took memorable photos of such gals as Bettie Page, Tempest Storm, Blaze Starr, Lili St. Cyr, and Jackie Miller. Dennis also appeared in many men's magazines of the era and a few film loops. By the 1960's she disappeared out of sight taking her explosive charms with her.
