In his autobiography Magic Hour, director Jack Cardiff remembered, "I cast a German girl to play the lead. She was perfect for the role. A few days later after engaging her, she was rushed to the hospital with a drug overdose and I never saw her again."

My Thoughts

I grew up watching the old Hammer horror movies on TCM and AMC (when it was commercial-free) during the 1990s. I've had my eye on the book Hammer Glamour: Classic Images From the Archives of Hammer Films for a while and finally got it along with The Art of Hammer: Posters From the Archive of Hammer Films. Hammer Glamour is more of an art book. It has biographies and photos of the actresses from the Hammer movies. I haven't read all of it but have glanced through it several times.

I genuinely cherish the thoughts and insights of my readers, and I wholeheartedly welcome your engagement. However, to foster a truly constructive dialogue, I’ll be keeping a careful eye on the comments section. This means I’ll be moderating to weed out any spammy detritus, overly harsh critiques, or contributions that don’t add anything meaningful to the conversation. Think of it as my little corner of the internet—a space where everyone can share their perspectives without the noise. Let’s make this a place where ideas can flourish and grow, rather than wither away in the shadows of irrelevance.
