They're not radiation proof AFAIK, that would be too heavy.

They're protected against solar radiation at the very least. And possibly enough to survive the van allen belt if things went seriously wrong, I presume.

Aparently they had some radiation shielding, just not for the wavelengths that would need heavy lead covering.

Most people believe radiation is a major hazard of space flight, but even by the 1960s technology had progressed to the point where you actually need very little radiation shielding to survive on a movie studio.

I guess those suits need to be radiation-proof anyways, so why not?
