Early Life & Career

Alaina Capri grew up in Inglewood, CAMcDonough, 185] and was one time "Miss Muscle Beach". At age 16, she was photographed by Russ Meyer after he saw her in the newspaper.

She appeared in an uncreditted walk-on part in the 1957 Jerry Lewis film, "The Delicate Delinquent".

Career with Russ Meyer

Prior to the Loved Ones leaving for an engagement in Japan, Berliner saw an ad seeking "buxom girls to put in a movie"McDonough, 186] and sent her picture to Meyer. Capri's first role with Meyer was "Common Law Cabin" (1967).

Capri's second and last film was "Good Morning... and Goodbye!" (1967). According to Jimmy McDonough, Capri felt betrayed by Meyer after a scene she was told "alluded to nudity"McDonough, 202] showed more of her body than Capri was comfortable with. She told McDonough, "I was really upset. I never really talked to anybody on the set again."

Life after Russ Meyer

Capri left show business after "Good Morning... and Goodbye!" to become a school teacher. She was terrified that someone would find out about her film career, and Meyer protected her anonymity. Capri was in attendance for Meyer's funeral in 2004.McDonough, 394]
