California City, Calif. — Salli Sachse, who appeared in lots of beach party movies and in the counterculture cult classics The Trip and Wild in the Streets as a contract player for American International Pictures in the 1960s, has died. She was 82.
Discovered on a beach near her home in La Jolla, California, the former model and Miss America contestant showed up in “Muscle” Beach Party” (1964), “Bikini Beach” (1964), “Beach Blanket Bingo” (1965), “How to Stuff a Wild Bikini” (1965), “Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine” (1965) and “The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966).”
MSTies will recall that she also played Mikki in the movie in episode K18- /1309- THE MILLION EYES OF SU-MURU.
The Hollywood Reporter has the story.
Thanks to Tim for the heads up.

MSTies will recall that she was mentioned in a host segment in episode 506- EEGAH!

Posted by Sampo, on September 2nd, 2025 Hi there. I’ve already spoken to a couple of people about this, but I think everybody ought to know. I simply can’t continue my current workload with MSTory. A couple of weeks ago I sat down at my computer to work on MSTory and I simply couldn’t remember what to do.
I’m better, thanks, but the episode made me realize that the crush I was operating under was simply not sustainable.
So. Beginning today, “This Date in MSTory” becomes “The Best of MSTory.” Every day (or almost every day) I will note one or two births, deaths and events and I will leave others to fill in the gaps as needed and desired.
And I will still do notable obits.
I want to thank all my regular contributors express my admiration for their diligence.
