It’s no surprise that Erica Gavin has appeared in three of the most seminal exploitation films of the late 1960s and early 70s…
beginning with the super-explosive and totally in color VIXEN! This outrageous film was one of the first to garner an “X” rating and cemented Erica’s icon status as a character suspended between the traditional mores of American society and the freewheeling sexual revolution then just blasting off. By the time she appeared in BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, the revolution was in full swing, and this former The Losers dancer was now appearing in MGM’s gambol with Russ Meyer. Later, Johnathan Demme cast her as the winsome Jacqueline in CAGED HEAT where she plays an inmate that busts out of a women’s prison – replete with shower rooms scenes, vicious rapes, fantasy sequences, and an exciting and occasionally hilarious escape that turns into a road film.
Erica Gavin is an American film actress best known for playing the title role in Russ Meyer's 1968 film Vixen! Following Vixen, Erica Gavin appeared in one more Russ Meyer film - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. She also appeared in Roger Corman's women-in-prison film Caged Heat. Erica Gavin currently resides in Beverly Hills, California. 
I wish you had pages for the last two films! While I think BVD is a freak out indeed(!), I really like Caged Heat. It’s so fun. And I think you make a great ‘straight man’ in this film. Will we ever see you again?
