Sandy King rides as Lady Godiva, mid-1970s.

But King has nothing but fond memories of the club which elicit her quick laugh and vivid recollections of the nights she worked there. “One night I went upstairs to the steak restaurant and saw Mickey sort of having a food fight with Vincent Price [the actor]. They were trying to be sly about it, but were giggling while trying to eat, throwing a bun or some noodles here and there. It was kind of surreal seeing Vincent Price, of all people, and Mickey in a little food fight.”

While she danced in the Penthouse’s main Gold Room lounge, she also remembers John Eccles and Eddie Cheese and their crowd holding court upstairs; they often dated some of the dancers that worked downstairs. “They were tough guys you didn’t want to mess with. But I also thought they protected that place. If somebody got out of hand there, those guys might take care of it and bring the guy out back for a pistol whipping!”
