Flavorwire bericht: “Tura Satana, most famous for her role as Varla, the sultry, violent bad girl in Russ Meyer’s 1965 exploitation film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, died at age 72 last night [4 februari] in Reno, NV, of reported heart failure. Satana was one seriously amazing woman, overcoming many hardships to become a figurehead of female empowerment. Her role as the violent yet unfailingly feminine Varla has influenced many films and characters, including Xena Warrior Princess and the Kill Bill films. An enduring cult actress still beloved by many fans due to her take-no-prisoners attitude and aggressive femininity, she also dated Elvis and even turned down his marriage proposal.”
Hier is Satana nog eens te zien in een montage uit de film The Astro-Zombies uit 1969. Met excuses voor de totaal niet relevante muziek.
