70's horror queens


We've had Caroline munro, Jenny Linden, Stephanie Beacham and Linda Hayden. What other favourites are out there? Almost forgot Ingrid Pitt !!!!!! Damn fool.

You must not forget Madeline Smith. You are posting on a movie page with her co-starring in it! She is absolutely a queen. Absolutely beautiful.

I couldn't agree more about Madeline Smith. She was a stunningly beautiful woman.

well, if you want to include giallo films, I'd say you definitely need to add Edwige Fenech to your list.

Maybe a nice honorable mention to Soledad Miranda for her final films in '70-71 with Jess Franco before her tragic untimely death.

I guess Barbara Steele is more of a 60s horror icon. Brigitte Lahaie had a nice presence in some Rollin and Franco films before she went porno, but I probably wouldn't call her a horror queen.

You've already mentioned several other good candidates though I never was that much of an Ingrid Pitt fan myself.

I realize that I'm incredibly late to the party so to speak, but I just wanted to thank Death_to_Pan_and_Scan in particular for mentioning the devastatingly lovely and sexy Ms. Fenech in your post! The woman was the ultimate knockout in the 70s and definitely tops my list for scream queens of that era!

Another absolute favorite of mine was Caroline Munro! She's probably my second favorite after Fenech.

"I don't know...", she said.

I second the motion for Veronica Carlson and Stephanie Beacham. Veronica looked like a better-looking Ursula Andress, if you can believe that -- totally underrated.

Linday Hayden's another good one; see her in "Taste the Blood of Dracula."

Then there's Caroline Munro!

Wow! A lot of beautiful female real estate there! Stephanie Beacham, at age 60 in 2007, finished first ruuner up on the American ABC TV show "Dancing With The Stars". Not just another beautiful face!

Kate O'Mara, Joanna Lumley, Yutte Stensgaard, The Collinson twins, :)

Jamie Lee Curtis, P.J. Soles, and Karen Black also come to mind.

I've been waiting for you, Ben.
