Vicki Robbins

From the film The Deadly Bees (1966). In this crapulous "horror" flick, British actress Suzanna Leigh plays Robbins, a pop singer exhausted by her go-go lifestyle. After she collapses while filming a proto-music video with the Birds, her doctor suggests that she get some rest at what is widely recognized as the most restful place on earth: a bee farm on a remote island inhabited by terminally depressed people and a depressed dog. Sadly, a few people (including Vicki) get out of the film alive. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the movie (which was bad enough to land on Mystery Science Theater 3000) was that the script was co-written by "Psycho" scribe Robert Bloch! Another band in the film, The Birds, featuring a pre-Rolling Stones Ron Wood, was real.
