Lind won the Better Baby Beauty Contest at age one. She grew up with her older sister in Burbank, California. In 1961 DeDe was discovered at a local pool in Burbank by photographer Leon Beauchemin; she was only fourteen at the time. Lind graced the covers of two issues of "Teen" magazine in 1962. She subsequently modeled for other teen and movie magazines, did a few TV commercials, and appeared in small roles on both The Donna Reed Show (1958) and Leave It to Beaver (1957). DeDe married her high school sweetheart after graduating from high school at age 17; the couple had a son prior to eventually divorcing. Lind was the Playmate of the Month in the August, 1967 issue of "Playboy." Her centerfold garnered more fan mail than any other 1960's Playmate and thus confirmed DeDe's status as one of the single most popular and beloved Playmates from that particular era.
Moreover, Lind was offered the lead role for the film Candy (1968), but turned said role down. Lind went on to model for several European magazines and did additional follow-up pictorials for "Playboy" in the 1970's, 80's, and 90's. DeDe participated in the first Playmate Olympics in 1980. She moved with her second husband to Florida in the mid-1980's. Lind went on to appear as a featured guest at Glamourcon events all over America.

The son of a jeweller, Charles H. Schneer was chiefly famous for his collaborations with animator and special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen. Together, they created some of the best-loved fantasy and science fiction films to grace the silver screen between 1956 and 1981. Importantly, Schneer encouraged Harryhausen's imaginative flights even to the point of exceeding his budget - unlike many other producers active in the realm of low-budget film making.
Schneer had initially entered the motion picture industry with Columbia in New York in 1939. He worked as an assistant there for three years and then did his wartime service with the U.S. Army Signals Corps Photographic Unit, turning out training films at the Astoria Studio in Queens, New York. After the war, he joined Sam Katzman's B-unit at Columbia as producer. It was Schneer's original concept of a giant octopus enveloping the Golden Gate Bridge that led to his introduction to Harryhausen and their subsequent joint work on It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955). Despite a minuscule budget, the venture proved to be a notable box-office success. Their next project together was the seminal science fiction Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956), which took Harryhausen's stop motion technique to the next level. Again, it was Schneer who had provided original background research by collecting news reports of actual UFO sightings.
By 1957, Schneer had ceased working for Katzman and became co-founder and president of Morningside Productions as a means of gaining more creative and financial control for both himself and Harryhausen (who was henceforth also credited as associate producer). Their subsequent ventures were based on mythological themes, rather than being simply 'creature features'. These included The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) (in which the three dimensional stop-motion animation process was first referred to as "Dynamation"); The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960) and Jason and the Argonauts (1963) (Schneer's own favourite among his films). In 1960, Schneer moved to London to form an independent production company, American Films. He produced several features without the involvement of Harryhausen, notably a biopic of rocket engineer Wernher von Braun. They later resumed working together and had further successes with Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) and Clash of the Titans (1981), with its brilliant Medusa sequence.
Schneer retired in the 1980's, once stop-motion work had been somewhat superseded by cheaper computer-generated special effects. He continued to reside at his Holland Park home in West London until returning to the United States just three years prior to his death in 2005.- Music Department
