Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

Haji was a Cando-American actress renowned for starring in Russ Meyer's sexploitation classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965), in which she made her theatrical film debut. Barbarella Catton was born in Quebec City, Quebec on January 24, 1946, and at the age of 14, began dancing topless. The renamed Haji caught the eye of cinema's "King Leer" while performing as an exotic dancer.

He also cast her as one of three go-go dancers who turn into avenging furies in "Pussycat" Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) after her theatrical film debut in Motorpsycho! (1965) technically released before Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965). She also appeared in Meyer's potboiler Good Morning... and Goodbye! (1967), his big budget Hollywood sextravaganza Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), and his cartoonish amalgamation of sex and violence, Supervixens (1975).

Haji died on August 10, 2013 at the age of 67.

Quotes
[the casting couch] Unfortunately, I encountered a lot of that when I went on auditions. That's why I never really went anywhere with my film work. I would go to casting sessions and get propositioned all the time, but that's the way men are. I could dig out my diary and embarrass a lot of famous men, but I won't, because they can't help themselves.
