Biography
Bambi Woods biography
Bambi Woods is an American former adult performer and exotic dancer best known for playing Debbie Benton in the 1978 film Debbie Does Dallas.
IMDb lists four acting credits: Debbie Does Dallas, Thundershine, Debbie Does Dallas Part II and Debbie Does Dallas III. A contemporaneous 1980 magazine interview also identified her as a striptease dancer and adult-film actress.
Her birth record is not settled. IMDb and Wikimedia Commons repeat a July 12, 1955 Pierre, South Dakota record, while a 2023 archival investigation cites a 1980 interview and 1975 yearbook to argue for a late-summer 1960 birth in Brooklyn and upbringing on Long Island. This profile therefore withholds a birth date and birthplace.
