Diane McBain in "Claudelle Inglish" released in 1961.

This year is a special one for 1960s glamour gal Diane McBain who turns 80 on May 18. It's also 60 years ago this year that her favorite film, "Claudelle Inglish," was released in which she portrayed a "good girl" who turns very bad.

"It was just my third film, so playing the title character gave me a great opportunity to test my acting wings," recalled McBain from her retirement community in Woodland Hills, California, where she has lived for several years. "I had led a very sheltered life growing up in Glendale (California), so playing the bad girl was an interesting challenge."
