Although pretty Canadian actress Susan Clark has appeared nude in her last four films, none can match her daring scenes for Universal's Technicolor and Panavision science-fact drama, "COLOSSUS The Forbin Project" The curvaceous redhead who recently completed a starring role opposite Robert Blake and Robert Redford in "Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here," "bares all" in that adventure film. But for "COLOSSUS The Forbin Project", "all" means a gigantic X-ray of her skeleton. Quipped Susan: "I guess I've run the gamut in Hollywood -- from skin to bones."
