A tribute I made for actress Barbara Shelley, who passed away on January 4th, 2021.
I met Barbara, the first lady of British horror/Hammer Films, many moons ago through a mutual friend (to whom I am eternally grateful). We spent a precious afternoon together watching her classic films and talking through her illustrious career. I will never forget her humour, warmth, wit and storytelling prowess. So sad to have lost such a true icon of British horror, and a lifelong idol. Rest in power and glory dear Barbara, your legacy lives on in these wonderful films.
Films include:
Cat Girl (1957)
Village of the Damned (1960)
The Shadow of the Cat (1961)
The Gorgon (1964)
Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)
Rasputin the Mad Monk (1966)
Quatermass and the Pit (1967)
Music: Funeral in Carpathia by James Bernard (from Dracula: Prince of Darkness)
