Kitten Natividad

Kitten Natividad, a prominent Latin American film actress and exotic dancer, was born in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, as the eldest of nine siblings. She didn’t learn English until she was 10, after her mother married a U.S. citizen and they relocated to Texas. While in high school in El Paso, she served as the senior class president. After moving to California, Natividad worked various jobs, including as a maid and cook for actress Stella Stevens and a key-punch operator for IBM, before transitioning to go-go dancing to support herself. Her stage name, "Kitten," was inspired by her bashful nature.

At 21, she underwent her first breast implant surgery in Tijuana, following her agent's advice. Natividad's big break came when fellow dancer Shari Eubank introduced her to renowned filmmaker Russ Meyer. He cast her to narrate the film *Up!*, showcasing her in a nude scene while quoting poetry. Impressed by her, Meyer featured her in *Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens*, paying for her second breast enhancement and voice lessons to refine her accent. Their personal and professional relationship lasted for about 15 years.

Natividad later ventured into erotic modeling and established the Kitten Klub, a private photo and video studio. She gained recognition for her performances, including an appearance at Sean Penn’s bachelor party for Madonna in 1985. In 2001, she starred in the cult comedy *The Double-D Avenger*, reuniting with stars from Meyer's earlier works, further solidifying her legacy in the entertainment industry.
