In this video, we look at the story of Wendy Frazier, the quietly pretty shoe store clerk who became the heart of one of ZZ Top’s most iconic music videos. Fans remember the famous Eliminator girls, the red car, the big makeover, and the classic 1980s MTV style — but Wendy’s story is just as interesting. ----- 00:00 Background 01:02 Who Is Wendy Frazier? 01:45 Wendy's Big Break 03:10 Behind the Scenes of ZZ Top's "Legs" Video 06:18 Not Cut Out for Hollywood? 06:39 LA Friends 07:52 The First MTV VMAs 08:33 Fan Mail 09:05 Where is the Legs Girl Today? ----- Before appearing in “Legs,” Wendy Frazier was a small-town girl from Marlborough, Connecticut who moved to Los Angeles with no real plan. A chance meeting with her friend Nina on Sunset Boulevard led to a music video audition, which led to her working with director Tim Newman, who later brought her in for ZZ Top’s “Legs.” This video covers Wendy’s unlikely path to MTV fame, her behind-the-scenes stories from the “Legs” shoot, the signed teddy bear ZZ Top gave her for her 21st birthday, her nose-flick revenge scene, her memories of the Eliminator girls, and what happened after the video became a massive hit. We also look at Wendy’s connection to the first MTV Video Music Awards, her friendship with Nina, her brush with the world of Duran Duran, and why she eventually walked away from Hollywood. For most people, she was just “the girl from Legs.” But for anyone who grew up watching MTV in the 1980s, Wendy Frazier is an unforgettable part of ZZ Top history.
