Hammer Horror Babes

Lust For A Vampire (1971).

Very pretty Suzanna Leigh plays Janet Playfair, the gym mistress,
Good Girl in front of the bad Yutte Stensgard.
She also appeared in Hammer "The Lost Continent" (1968) and had
then an interesting carrier in genre movies and comedies.
Her small VEF thread, with nice pics, here.

Brides of Dracula, Terence Fisher, 1960.
Patricia Sutcliffe, aka Marie Devereux, aka Marie Deveraux,
is a (silent) village girl turning vampire : from far the sexiest of this movie.
And from far one of the sexiest 60's models/actresses.
Of course better known for her British nude magazines apparitions.
She also is in 4 other Hammer films : comedies ("I Only Arsked!", 1958.
Weekend With Lulu, 1961) or adventures ("The stranglers Of Bombay", 1959.
"The Pirates Of Blood River", 1962).
Short roles but abundant cleavage.
But she got an honorable (but enigmatic) carrier on the screen,
notably with roles in Samuel Fuller's movies "Shock Corridor" and "The Naked Kiss".

Modelling :

She also briefly is in a Playboy pictorial (February 1963), 1st pic top left,
featuring "The girls of Cleopatra".
Indeed Marie Devereaux (again another spelling) was in the Mankiewicz movie as Liz Taylor's body double.
As says Pb : "[her] remarkable looks-like-Liz face and figure caused her to
be picked as Miss Taylor's stand-in for long and over the shoulders shots".

Dracula A.D.1972, Alan Gibson, 1972.
Stephanie Beacham (playing Jessica Van Helsing) is one of the cutest Hammer Beauties,
no matter she's completely deaf in her right ear & only 75% of capacity in her left ear,
since she's kid (cf. Women of Hammer Horror dictionary).
She appeared twice on Playboy, first time & briefly was on November 72 for
her role with Marlon Brando in "The Nightcomers" (1971) :



Second time was in February 87 for a famous pictorial.

Dracula A.D.1972, Alan Gibson, 1972.
Marsha Hunt's only appearance in a Hammer movie. She's Dracula's first black victim.
But had a most interesting carrier in modeling (1st black model on the cover
of high fashion magazine "Queen" and music (married with Mike Ratledge of Soft Machine,
she had then a child with Mick Jagger, was in "Hair", with her own band at the Isle
of Wight festival, etc.. Great person, now writer. Her tiny thread.

Blood Of The Mummy's Tomb, Seth Holt, 1971.
Valerie Leon is of course one of the most iconic Hammer glamour actresses.
In spite that's her only one Hammer movie.
She's best known as James Bond's girl or for her sexy appearances in the
"Carry On..." comedies, "The Revenge of The Pink Panther" or "Queen of The Kabongas".
Perfect in all genres, but in genre movies only. Pity.
I re-watched "Blood of the Mummy.." yesterday and she wasn't ridiculous at all.
Her thread. Sry for the few pics already posted there.

Stills (including her "nude scene", by her "body double (?) :

She was of course in Zeta One, as other Hammer beauty

Twins Of Evil, John Hough (1971).
Hands Of The Ripper, Peter Sasdy (1971).
Straight On Till Morning, Peter Collinson (1972).

Katya Wyeth had brief roles in a few Hammer productions, but is mainly remembered
as Countess Mircalla stroking a candle in "Twins Of Evil".
And even more as a page 3 pin-up or for her breasts in British (& Aussies) sex-comedies.



Her thread. With a lot of "Top of the Pop" lp covers !!

Misc :







In Mayfair magazine, December 73 :




A Clockwork Orange.
As Adrienne Corri and finally a few other Hammer "beauties",
she appears in the Kubrick's movie (the final "Ascot girl").
A "Hammer / Clockwork Orange" index could be helpful & is to come..
