Chris Munger directed this 1974 blaxploitation version of the popular skinflick Starlet!…1969. The story concerns Clara, Juanita Brown, an aspiring actress from the housing projects of Gary, Indiana, who goes to Hollywood in search of fame and fortune.
Predictably, she is robbed, betrayed, and must hit the casting couch before her dreams can come true. Juanita Brown also appeared in Caged Heat, Foxy Brown and Willie Dynamite.
This film may fall short in many categories but the poster is hot and the is in the collection of The Museum of UnCut Funk.

What happened to Juanita? I heard she died in 81.
Nope. Still around IN 2014 according to IMDB
She is around, not working as an actress. Found her on Linklin.. She has a business now, does not speak of her acting days. She is 72 yrs old
