There was this derring-do Hemingway-type explorer and adventurer named Frank Buck. Buck, a mustachioed rake in his heyday who wore those goofy jungle pants with the big knee bags, was principally a hunter and collector of wild animals. And Buck was known as the guy who brought ‘em back alive. Evidently one of Buck’s collections now adorns actress Laura Allen. From the remote regions of Zanzibar is our guess, but that would only be a guess. Whether dressing for a Polish film festival or simply lounging around a mud hut in Kenya, Allen seems comfortable and secure with her choices. Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Washington, Allen was a Sociology major in college and worked with the NYPD as a domestic violence counselor before turning to acting. And if you’ve seen any of those guns and kitchen knife performances in the Bronx on a Saturday night, you realize there’s not much of a turn. After winding up in a variety of bad movies such as Mona Lisa Smile, Allen found her true calling in the TV element with shows like Criminal Minds along with Law & Order. If you see another pattern developing here, step to the head of the class, Columbo. As she pivots with a saucy side pose, Laura exhibits the goods that summon maddening howls from the heart of a wolf. For Laura is the white smoke of burning ecstasy, and her feet summon great waves of hot blood pouring into the veins. We’ll give her a “9″ for now, and if she goes barefoot on the next safari, who knows?
