Frances "Kitten" Natividad - her real name - was the first of nine children. Her busty mother gave birth to her at age 16 when she gave birth at home, with Francesca's grandmother serving as midwife. Only Kitten's sister Eva Garcia share sthe same mother and father. "I raised all of them, so I felt that we were all family," says Natividad - the final "d" is silent. "Maybe that's why I didn't have any children of my own, after changing all those diapers when I was young."

The family lived in Juarez, Mexico until Kitten was eight, though "we were in El Paso off and on. I was so light-skinned that people thought I was American. When I was older they asked where I was born. I didn't speak English. Then my mom married an American and he got us over the border for good. We got our citizenship and I started speaking English when I was nine years old."

Francesca became known as Frances after settling in El Paso, Texas. "I got lots of attention from guys at school. My parents didn't give me lunch, so I'd tell jokes, and when the guys laughed, I'd say, 'Could I have a hot dog and a Coke?' I also pierced all the girls' ears with a needle and alcohol for extra money."

On one Fourth of July, when Frances was 13, she got into the spirit by doing a hip-rotating Hawaiin dance. People tossed her coins that added up to $15. "People followed me around like I was the Pied Piper."

At age 16, Natividad worked as a house keeper for actress Stella Stevens at her home on Coldwater Canyon. "SHe'd give big parties, and I answered the door in a white uniform. I got to meet Glenn Ford and Warren Beatty. I decided that I wanted to be a movie star."

Frances lost her virginity in her senior year of high school in El Paso, and after graduation eloped with her boyfriend. Their marriage was annulled one week later.

"I moved back to LA to work for Stella Stevens." Five years later, at age 23 in the year 1969, Kitten made her go-go dancing debut at the Pasadena club Gianone's. Then "I went to an agency to audition as a go-go dancer all over San Bernadino County. I'd drive 45 minutes and do two shows... I'd work all day long. The agency told me, 'the name Frances is not gonna work." They named me Kitten."

In 1973, Kitten won the Miss Nude Universe title and switched permanently from go-go dancing to stripping. She made her film debut in Russ Meyer's 1976 production Up! where she plays the role of the Greek Chorus, explaining the convoluted plot while naked. "By the time she starred in Meyer's Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens a couple of years later, America had come to know her as one of the steamiest strippers and nude models..." (Steve Sullivan in Glamour Girls Issue 11)

Natividad first received silicone shots to her breasts in 1973, then Meyer bought Kitten her first implants. As a result, the 5'3" 116 pound brunette measured 44-25-35.

Six months after they began working together, Kitten left her husband and moved in with Meyer with whom she stayed intimate for the next 15 years. They remain friends. Frances starred in 1978's Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, only a little less weird than Up!. Early in the film, Kitten as Lovonia tries to lure her husband to bed by caressing her nude body, before walking to his work desk, drinking milk before splashing it across her breasts and giving him head. As her marriage dissolves, she seduces a teenage boy in a river and indulges in several over-the-top comic love scenes with a stud.

Kitten plays a partygoer in her brief appearance in 1979's The Lady in Red.

During the 1980s, Kitten featured in several magazine layouts wiht two other alumni of Meyer's - Uschi Digard and Candy Samples. In early 1981, Kitten got together with John Holmes, Uschi Digart and Keli Stewart for two X-rated flicks shot during the same sessions. In Big Tit Hookers, Holmes plays a sailor who invites three prostitutes for a foursome. Big Boob Casting Call presents John as a horny movie producer who auditions the same three ladies for his latest flick. In one sequence, Kitten strips and struts around the office for Holmes while Uschi and Keli sample each other on the couch before everyone joins in with The King. Kitten didn't do any hardcore sex.

Kitten moved out from Meyer in 1981. Russ described her in 1990 as "one of the two great ladies in my life" along with his ex-wife Eve Meyers. "Kitten is a total sex object and sex machine."

Later in 1981, Natividad married for the third time. It ended in 1987.

The stripper appeared in 1982's Airport II. A guy spills his drink all over her. She wears a bursting-at-the-seams "Moral Majority" T-shirt. Kitten also posed for a sensational publicity still which was reproduced in Playboy. The Mexican-American also appeared that year in an early scene in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, wearing a black wig at the "chicken ranch."

Frances appears in the 1982 X-rated flicks Titillation and Bodacious Ta-Tas where Ron Jeremy and friends visit a strip club featuring Kitten performing an extended strip. Kitten appears in nude exercise drills in 1983's Eroticize. She also has a scene that year in the R-rated My Tutor, playing whore Anna Maria in a lowcut black gown. The movie's main character passes out while she strips. He recovers to join her in bed. She wiggles her breasts and coos, "Come over here, my little bambino. Climb the mountain." He does so but then falls asleep.

Ron Jeremy plays the owner of a Tijuana strip joint where Kitten performs in 1984's Eat at the Blue Fox. She also features as a stripper in The Wild Life. Natividad stars the same year in Takin' It Off. An Evening WIth Kitten, 1985, is one of her best sellers of all time. It's a series of comedy sketches rated R.

The busty stripper also features in 1985's Night Patrol, Stripper of the Year (1986), Takin' It All Off (1987), The Tomb (87), Another 48 Hours (90), The Girl I Want (90), Red Lips (95) and United Thrash (95).

Kitten never did any graphic sex on camera during her prime, going no further than giving head. But as she aged, she went hardcore in the strange 1991 flick 40 The Hard Way. Kitten, Alexis Gold, Toni Allessendrina and Valhalla sit around in an outdoor restaurant complaining about their philandering husbands. All the ladies are pushing 40, but Toni looks fine and Valhalla and Alexis appear ok.

But as for Kitten - "the poor lady has now succumbed to too many calories and is a fat faced, pillowy mass of flesh. When Kitten leaves, the ladies gossip about her... Flame watches a tape of Sasha Gabor and James Lewis screwing Kitten including an anal by Sasha. This is revolting due to Kitten's huge weight." (Guide 4, p.28) In Titillation 3, Kitten gets analed by Marc Wallice.

Kitten says she regrets her decision to do hardcore, but because she wants to pay off her new $3000 computer system, she'll do it again.

Natividad's parents were proud of their daughter the sex star and Frances remains close with her busty mother. Her dad died in 1992 of intestinal cancer.

Natividad thinks about writing an autobiography. "You wouldn't believe the men I've slept with. Thousands.

"I've had some male friends for 30 years. But only because I've never f---ed them. But the minute I spread those legs, he won't give a s--- about me. As soon as they get what they want, they ship out.

"Men don't like it that they can't tell me what to do."

I phoned Kitten one Wednesday afternoon in early February. She said that I'd have to earn an interview by taking her out to dinner and eating her asshole. After I parked near her place, I jumped in the back of my van and digging under a pillow, found a box of condoms. I slipped one in my pocket.

Kitten and I ate at a Mexican restaurant down the street from her Hollywood apartment. At one point she lifted her T shirt and showed me her prodigious breasts.

Then we went back to her apartment. I installed America On Line Version 3.0 on her new computer before we cruised the internet for sites devoted to her. While looking at lascivious photos of Kitten in her younger days, I fondled her...

After a couple of hours on the computer, I said goodbye and we hugged. I wanted to get home to tell all my friends that I'd fondled Kitten Natividad. We said goodbye several times and hugged some more and then we fell to the floor and...

Two days later was the Sabbath. I took a magazine filled with pictures of Kitten to synagogue. After prayers, I gathered friends around my van and showed them photos of my latest conquest.

In the year 2000, Kitten had surgery for breast cancer.
