America's Numero Uno Jungle Queen

Following the death of her parents, young Sheena fell under the tutelage of Koba, a witch doctor. Instructed in the finer aspects of jungle etiquette and imbued with an undying appreciation for the natural wildlife, she spent the rest of her career trailing her male, vine-swinging counterparts.

Former pinup model, Irish McCalla, who adorned such girlie mags as Night & Day and Eve, immortalized the character from 1956-1957 in 26 television episodes. Hopelessly typecast after the demise of the series, she appeared in only 6 films, including Richard Cunha's 1958 cult ditty, She Demons.

For the past 40 years Irish has devoted her life to painting. She has completed over a thousand canvases and has had work on display in the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry.
