She has been featured on the BBC, Bravo, Reelz, M-TV, CNN (and many more) as a film historian and author.
Nancy “Buni” Bacon: Nancy Bacon, mother of Staci Layne Wilson, made her name as a pin-up model, appearing in classic 1960s lad-magazines such as Gentleman, Flirt, and Wink, before making the jump to the silver screen. While as famous for her regular Hollywood gossip column in Confidential magazine as she was for modeling and acting she became fodder for gossip columnists herself thanks to a well-publicized affair with Paul Newman and other Hollywood stars.
