RIP, Ingrid Pitt
Ingrid Pitt, the star of several Hammer films, and one of the greatest British horror films of all time, The Wicker Man, has died. Most people know that she starred in some of the more saucy Hammer vampire films (often in limited amounts of clothing) and was very beautiful. What people often don't realise is that she was a concentration camp survivor and also a very talented actress, with her own theatrical touring company. She also wrote.
She was in Doctor Who as well :-)
ReplyDeleteRIP Ingrid - she was in Who Dares Wins - as an indeterminate Euro terrorist bitch and had the best line in the show (while demonstrating a gun) 'It is vun hell off a murderous vepon!'. Stylish lady!
ReplyDeleteRhian, she even wrote a Doctor Who story, although I believe it was only ever made in audio form. One cool woman!
ReplyDeleteRIP Ingrid. You can be at rest now. Do you know how she died?
ReplyDeleteI am not too hot on Hammer - but the loss of what sounds like an amazing woman all the same.
