Yet another of my youthful introductions to sex is gone:
"Swedish actress Lena Nyman has died at the age of 66. Nyman, whose sexy film roles helped define the country's provocative film movement in the 1960s, passed away in a hospital in Stockholm on Friday morning, February 4 following a lengthy period of ill
health."
I never saw the movie, but a pulp book of nude and explicit images from the film passed around at school. I remember a shot of a standing 69 but I can't find it by googling. Perhaps my memory is off.
"Seized by customs upon entry to the United States, subject of a heated court battle, and banned in numerous cities, Vilgot Sjöman’s
I Am Curious—Yellow is one of the most controversial films of all time. This landmark document of Swedish society during the sexual revolution has been declared both obscene and revolutionary. It tells the story of Lena (Lena Nyman), a searching and rebellious young woman, and her personal quest to understand the social and political conditions in 1960s Sweden, as well as her bold exploration of her own sexual identity.

Yet another sexual icon is gone. . .
