## Early life and career

Capri grew up in [Inglewood, California](/source/Inglewood,_California), and was named *Miss Muscle Beach* in 1956.[1] At age 16, she was photographed by [Russ Meyer](/source/Russ_Meyer) after he saw her in the newspaper.

## Career with Russ Meyer

Prior to the Loved Ones leaving for an engagement in [Japan](/source/Japan), Berliner saw an ad seeking "buxom girls to put in a movie" and sent her picture to Meyer.[2]: 186 Capri's first role with Meyer was *Common Law Cabin* (1967).

Capri's second and last film was *Good Morning... and Goodbye!* (1967). According to biographer Jimmy McDonough, Capri felt betrayed by Meyer after a scene she was told "alluded to nudity" showed more of her body than Capri was comfortable with. She told McDonough, "I was really upset. I never really talked to anybody on the set again."[2]: 202

## Life after Russ Meyer
