Genius can be a powerful aphrodisiac. Regardless of their looks of sketchy backgrounds, women are drawn to men who have exhibited an uncommon brilliance, especially if the men have shown the foresight to shine in an endeavor that brings riches or acclaim. This eroticized feminine appreciation for genius accounts for the actions of brunette baby-face Amy C. Bass’ character in the Nick Nolte drama Weeds (1987). Unrelated to the TV show and directed by John D. Hancock, the same man who helmed the Robert DeNiro baseball drama Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), Nolte portrays a convict who wins wide acclaim and even his own freedom by writing a play while in prison. Once in the outside world, he wins the naked appreciation of grad student Amy, who is so impressed by his abilities as a playwright that she wants to learn all about his rising action until they both get to the climax. Not a theater nerd? We’re saying she’s banging his cock, and there’s nothing slow about it. Yes, Amy flashes all three B’s while in bed with Nick, and suddenly we were craving a slice of C. Bass. Unfortunately a knock on the door stops the knockers and ding dong filled festivities, but not before we get to see the ass of Amy C. Bass as she gets out of bed to answer the door. Despite such a promising start, that was the end of Amy’s acting career. She was one and done, and as much as it was fun seeing her when we could, we can’t help but wonder what we were missing. While it was only one role, thanks to her sexiness, we’re all about that Amy C. Bass.
