School of Music classmate had a pinout picture of a blonde in
a bathing suit on his locker back in '73, looked very much
like Pia, funny I should remember that.
Pia is an Italian name meaning "devout". I doubt if it could
be related to Ms. Zadora's name, but one can never tell
without asking.
It is interesting she should be featured as a Linuxtress. (Or
would you call her an Open Sourcetress?)
