I think you got the name wrong for starters, her actual name is Linda Vaughn... She was "Miss Hurst Shifter" back in the 70's ;-)

Hi, thanks diskdoctor, I dunno, for what ever reason, i thought this girl was playing the role of 'daisy' in the film.

i looked up Linda Vaughn and yes, she played Emergency Plan Alpha.

quite embarrassing really, but who DID play daisy, ie, where does she come into the film and what connections does she make?

thanks
James

She is the brunette that Franco is with in the first part of the film, he "drives" that little turtle car thing over her body. He walks out of her apartment, and the trio is playing and he starts singing "Santa Lucia". She stands in the doorway (in a sheer outfit) watching him leave.

No, that brunette is Colleen Camp ("Franco's Date"), clearly recognizable from her other performances of the time, including Apocalypse Now.

Having accounted for the other women, and looking at Lauren Simon's IMDb picture, though she is much older in it, I think that she is the gal seen washing the store window suggestively beside the local boys in the El Camino(?) before they take off after the Porsche girls.
