Early years


Gavin was born in Los Angeles, California. At age 19, she worked as a topless dancer in Hollywood with two other future Russ Meyer stars, Haji and Tura Satana. While waiting in a dentist's office, she saw an advertisement in Variety for girls to audition for the new Russ Meyer movie Vixen! She auditioned and won the role, which launched her to stardom in low budget, independent films, incorrectly called "B" films, which refer to a type of film made during the Studio Era.[2]


Career


Following Vixen!, Gavin appeared in one more Russ Meyer film, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, written by famed film critic Roger Ebert.[3] She also appeared in Jonathan Demme's women-in-prison film Caged Heat.[4]


Personal life


Gavin currently[when?] resides in Los Angeles, California, where she works as a stylist and occasionally makes appearances at movie memorabilia conventions. She said in a 2006 interview that she is bisexual.[5]
