Bambi Woods

Years active: 1978 - 1981. Rumored to have died of a drug overdose in 1986, but those rumours were not verified. In an uncorroborated 2007 interview with Bambi on YesButNoButYes.com, the actress - who was still refusing to give her true name (you can call me Debbie) - dispels much of the legend surrounding her, saying she now lives comfortably with her family in California. Bambi Woods (born on July 12, 1955) is a former pornographic actress best known for her appearance as the title character in the 1978 film Debbie Does Dallas. She was advertised on theater marquees and in advertising as a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, although this was not actually the case. Woods appeared in only a handful of films. These include Debbie Does Dallas, its 1981 and 1985 sequels, and Swedish Erotica 12, also in 1981. An article in The Age stated that Woods died of a drug overdose in 1986.[1] A 2005 Channel 4 documentary, Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered, employed the services of a private investigator to track down Woods. The investigator was unsuccessful, but could not confirm the report that Woods died of an overdose. The investigator also received a letter, ostensibly from Woods herself, claiming to have left the adult film industry as a result of the drug abuse she witnessed and to have become an anonymous homemaker and mother living in the Des Moines, Iowa area.[2]
