Crystin Sinclaire
- Actress
Sassy, spunky and slender blonde actress Crystin Sinclaire popped up in
a small handful of movies during her regrettably fleeting career, but
she nonetheless brought a winning blend of raw vitality and
considerable earthy sex appeal to the few delightfully down'n'dirty 70s
drive-in features she appeared in. Sinclaire made a lively debut as the
brash and uninhibited wildcat Crazy Alice in Jonathan Demme's wonderful
chicks-in-chains classic "Caged Heat" and was likewise solid as a
brassy hooker who volunteers for a desperate suicide mission in the
entertainingly trashy World War II action potboiler "Hustler Squad."
She gave a fine and impressive performance as Mel Ferror's loyal, but
long-suffering daughter Libby in Tobe Hooper's excellent "Eaten Alive."
Sinclaire had a funny part as a stuck-up tramp in Curtis Harrington's
immensely enjoyable "Ruby" and was memorably fetching as love interest
Tricia in the goofy "Goin' Coconuts." Alas, following a guest spot on
the popular TV show "CHiPs" and a co-starring role in the made-for-TV
drama "Portrait of A Stripper," Crystin Sinclaire's days as a working
actress were sadly over by the end of the 70s.
