| Fortune Cookie, The (1966) | Judi West "is rarely seen without a cigarette in her mouth. There must be a dozen drags and a couple of light-up scenes. As a historical footnote, it appears she is smoking an orange-tipped 100 in her opening scene. The movie was made in 1966, which might make her the first actress to smoke such cigarettes on film. Later on she is shown smoking Lark regulars." "Her character is cartoonish, so they make her smoke in almost every scene. Unfortunately she appears not IRL in most as she holds clumsily and fails to inhale in most shots. It is possible she actually learned how to smoke in this film, however, since a small number of the scenes appear much more IRL than the rest."
