Zale Parry, Aquatic Hollywood Star and Early Acid Tripper, Dies at 93
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A diving feat landed her on the cover of Sports Illustrated and led
to a film and TV career. She also took part in one of the first LSD
studies.
Zale Parry, a depth-defying scuba diver and underwater stuntwoman
whose reverence for the oceanic world was deepened by tripping out on
LSD in a research study that included Cary Grant, Jack Nicholson and
Dennis Hopper, died on July 20 at her home in Tillamook, Ore. She
was 93.
Her granddaughter, Katherine Maloney, confirmed the death.
Once called the "prettiest thing underwater," Ms. Parry was among the
first women to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, an
achievement that led to a career in Hollywood, including doubling for
Sophia Loren in the 1957 film "Boy on a Dolphin" and co-starring with
Lloyd Bridges on the television show "Sea Hunt."
