#54 Jocelyn Lane

This half-Russian, half-English beauty was born in Vienna, but grew up in New York and London. She parlayed her “resemblance to Brigitte Bardot” (IMDb) into a modeling career, a stint as an Elvis girl (in Tickle Me), 39 screen and TV credits, and a marriage to Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenberg.  When she later divorced the Prince and was offered a million-dollar settlement, she made the classic remark that the amount was “not really fitting for a princess.”

Real Name:  Jocelyn Olga Bolton
