Only half the seats in the Club Juana near Orlando were filled on opening night, and midway through her first week the club's main attraction, Stripper Fanne Foxe, was arrested for going bottomless. No one, however, seemed willing to admit that the Tidal Basin Bombshell might be a Florida flop, least of all Club Owner Mike Pinter, who was peeling off $15,000 a week for her twelve-day run. Fanne, who immediately posted a $500 bond, claimed that her opening had unfolded "much better than I expected." She had also phoned her ailing friend, Congressman Wilbur Mills, Fanne added, to apologize for the rumors about their "engagement." Reported Fanne: "He said not to worry, that he knows how people can be."
