Chatterbox (1977 Film)
''Chatterbox'' (addressed in the opening credits as ''Chatterbox!''; also known as ''Virginia the Talking Vagina'') is a 1977 American comedy film about a woman with a talking vagina. The film stars Candice Rialson as a hairdresser who discovers her vagina has the power of speech after it derisively comments on a lover's performance. Her talking vagina has a mind of its own, which includes a desire to sing; they wind up exploited by her psychiatrist, who launches her on a career in show business. According to Michael Medved in '' The Golden Turkey Awards'', the talking vagina precipitates many developments in her life: Escapades include a sojourn in jail with a basketball team and sessions with a psychiatrist to help Virginia overcome her (its?) emotional problems. With her self-confidence restored, she makes several hit appearances on TV talkshows; the theory, apparently, is that Virginia makes an even more interesting late-night guest than Truman Capote.

Lee while serving briefly as his quartermaster, and was given a brigade in the Third Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia commanded by A.P.

Heth continued to command his division during the remainder of the war and briefly took command of the Third Corps in April 1865 after the death of General Hill. Heth surrendered with the rest of Lee's army on April 9. Early life Henry Heth was born at Black Heath i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
