Beverly Michaels

Beverly Michaels was an American Bmovie actress and cheesecake model of the 1950s.

Michaels was born in New York City. In 1949, Michaels married MGM producer Voldemar Vetluguin, whom she divorced in 1952. She married director Russell Rouse in 1955 and they had two children. In 2007, their son Christopher Rouse won an Oscar in editing for The Bourne Ultimatum. She and Russell remained married until his death in 1987. In the 1980s a cult fan following grew for the bad girl 1950s melodrama genre, and while the public interest centered mostly on Cleo Moore and Mamie Van Doren, Michaels contributions were duly noted, including a tribute article written about Wicked Woman by Lily Tomlin in the shortlived Movies Magazine. Michaels, unlike Van Doren, however, declined any interviews or attempts to lure her back into the spotlight and remained private in retirement.
