She was pretty damn hot. Anyone else think so?

I thought her role was a pleasant surprise. As an old woman, she was treated with respect and dignity. As a young woman, she still commanded respect and she was beautiful as well. Of all of the roles in the old black and white Universal Horror film, that's probably the most prominant role played by a black actor or actress. She may have played a villain, but it was still a pretty dignified role. They also never shyed away from her appeal when she was younger either.

That's pretty fair for 1960.

She is Kim Hamilton. She was once married to Werner Klemperer who played Col. Klink on "Hogan's Heroes". She also originated the role of Helen Willis on "All in the Family" (before spinning off into "The Jeffersons" with Roxie Roker taking over the part) and, if I'm not mistaken, she played the only black person to ever appear on "Leave It to Beaver".

Not only that, she is STILL quite a stunning woman!

Was she really a villain? In a way, yes.

According to her though, that sacrifice was custom in her village.

Mmmm so hot. I'd have gone gay for Kim Hamilton in a heartbeat. She was also in The Twilight Zone episode The Big Tall Wish. One of the hottest TZ ladies, in my opinion, which is saying something, 'cause there were a lot of foxy ladies in TZ.
