- A sizzling, sexy but short-lived sensation
seen on late night Los Angeles television in the
1950s.

Voluptua (a.k.a. Gloria Pall) was a buxom blonde
(Size 42-C Bra) hired by executive producer Hunt
Stromberg, Jr. to act as hostess of "Voluptua
and the Love Movies," a series of "B" romantic
movies broadcast on Channel 7 in Hollywood
beginning in December, 1954.
With a heart-shaped mole adorning her cheek,
Voluptua laid near a round satin couch and gold
telephone and greeted her late night viewers
(mostly male) with her sexy opening line:
"Welcome to my boudoir."
Continuing her seductive delivery, she urged her
audience to "Take off your coat, ties...anything
you want to take off. Just be comfortable."
By the end of the program, Voluptua would be
suggestively dressed in a necktie and a pair of
man's pajamas, bidding her audience goodnight by
kissing the camera lens.
Unfortunately, her video flirting aggravated a
number of jealous wives and angry church groups
who petitioned the ABC affiliate to "can" the
curvaceous cutey.
When the FCC threatened to cancel the station's
license, they took Voluptua off the air. But
while she lasted. Va-va-va-voom!
Voluptua's earlier career credits included Miss
Flatbush of 1947; a pinup model in the magazines
Gala, Pix, and Man to Man;
and "Miss Cleavage" by Stars & Stripes
magazine.
As of the 1980s Voluptua was reportedly selling
real estate in southern California.
