Carol Ann Doda (August 29, 1937 – November 9, 2015) was an American topless dancer based in San Francisco, California, who was active from the 1960s through the 1980s.

[1] In 1964, Doda made international news, first by dancing topless at the city's Condor Club, then by reportedly enlarging her breasts from size 34B to 44DD through silicone injections.

Possibly, Doda enlarged her breasts to measure 44 inches around the bust, and the 44DD assertion resulted from journalists misunderstanding how bra sizing works.

[14] She go-go danced "The Swim" to a rock-and-roll combo headed by Bobby Freeman as her piano settled on the stage.

(In 1983, assistant manager James "Jimmy the Beard" Ferrozzo was crushed to death by the hydraulic piano while lying on top of his naked stripper girlfriend, Theresa Hill.

[9] Two months after she started her semi-nude performances, the rest of San Francisco's Broadway went topless, followed soon after by entertainers across America.

[citation needed] She was profiled in Tom Wolfe's 1969 book The Pump House Gang,[18] and appeared that same year as Sally Silicone in Head, the 1968 film created by Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson, and featuring The Monkees.

In the movie, produced by Columbia Pictures,[19] she appears in a Golden Boy parody segment with Annette Funicello, Sonny Liston, and Davy Jones.

[22] For the topless and waterless Swim, Doda wore the bottom half of a black bikini and a net top which ended where a bathing suit generally began.

A large illuminated sign in front of the club featured a cartoon of her with red flashing lights representing her nipples.

[24][25] On April 22, 1965, Doda was arrested along with Pete Mattioli and Gino del Prete, owners of the Condor Club.

Judge Friedman's memorandum to opposing attorneys reads, "Whether acts ... are lewd and dissolute depends not on any individual's interpretation or personal opinion, but on the consensus of the entire community ..." Doda and del Prete were arrested during police raids to stop bare-bosom shows in North Beach.

[26] In 1969, Doda was a witness during the trial of two all-nude dancers who were arrested for "indecent exposure and lewd and dissolute conduct".

Presiding Municipal Court Judge Earl Warren Jr. moved the trial, temporarily, from the courtroom to Chuck Landis Largo club.

Filmed from the waist up and wearing clothes which amplified her most prominent physical attributes, she became known for saying "You're watching the Perfect 36 in San Jose."
