Celeste plays Ellen, the girl at the party, with all the
astrological reasons why she and Elvis just can't possibly be matched up.
However, not one to be easily discouraged, Elvis woos her by showing her a
box with blinking lights, and by singing "A Little Less Conversation".
(Yeah, that ALWAYS works!...) Only Elvis could get away with singing... "A
little more bite, a little less bark,
A little less fight, and a little
more spark, Shutcher mouth an' open up yer heart,
Baby satisfy me..." Don't hold back, Elvis, just get right to
the point! Their brief romance is interrupted, however, by
Michele Carey
hooverin' up a storm in Elvis' apartment, effectively driving Celeste away!
Celeste's next movie appearance was also a supporting role, in Bob &
Carol & Ted & Alice, in which Hollywood takes a poke at spousal sports!
After that, Celeste made top billing in a couple of horror flicks: Beast
of Blood, in which a headless guy terrorizes Celeste and company. Then,
the one that has earned Celeste a true cult following,
The Velvet Vampire. Although the film itself is little more than a
run-of-the-mill sexy-female-vampire movie (that seemed to be the rage in the
early '70's!), Celeste seems to have quite effectively stolen the show!
Although Celeste had a few film roles in the '70's, notably Charles
Bronson's The Mechanic and Scorpio with Burt Lancaster,
Celeste began concentrating on other things. In 1979, she started her own
commercial real estate business, specializing in assisting mainly
entertainment companies to lease or buy office buildings. She has also
managed several talented screenwriters,
including the writer of On
Deadly Ground, the Steven Seagal film.
