Arlene Bell's combination of beautiful doe-eyes and a slender figure juxatposed with certain other attributes made her one of the more popular nudie magazine models in the first half of the 1970s.

She was born in early 1950s Southern California and was active posing for various mags (most notably Fling and Gem) from about 1971 to 1975, though her magazine spreads were often republished through the mid 1980s. Like most similar models she was depicted under a few different aliases, including Cynthia Wakely and Tina Andrea.
