Lada Edmund Jr.


The Beatles meet actress, Lada Edumund Jr. Lada is best known as being the Go-Go dancer from the 1960's television show, Hullaballo. She was the one that danced in the cage (but I thought they all danced in a cage....). However I recognized her from being in the movie, Bye Bye Birdie. And sure enough when I looked it up, she played the part of Penelope Ann in the 1960 film.

  1. I am sorry to say that Lada NEVER appeared in the film version.

  2. Really? That is so strange because when I saw this photo I automatically thought "wasn't that girl in Bye Bye Birdie?" Was she in the OBC? Maybe the movie casted someone that looked similar. Thanks for the correction.

  3. Lada was Penelope in the original 1960 Broadway cast of Bye Bye Birdie but did not appear in the film.
