--
Nejla Ates was a very good Middle Eastern dancer (Belly dancer
aka al raks sharqi) who did some very erotic dancing during
her career. Danced in a few movies as well with some big name
cheesecake dancers such as Lili St Cyr and is said to have been
the first "Belly Dancer" to gain fame thru dancing in
the movies. Did some Burlesque and Showgirl work as a dancer during
her career as well.
In
1952 she was briefly engaged to millionaire Shep Abdullah King.
Tragically, in 1965, Nejla overdosed on barbiturates in New York
City at the age of 32.
