Actress Ingrid Pitt who men in my age group will remember quite well passed away on Nov. 23rd at the age of 73.

Back in the day they didn't come much better than the lovely Ms. Pitt.  One of Hammer's original scream queens she starred in a whole slew of genre flicks starting in 1964 with SOUND OR HORROR and ending just a few years ago with Hammer's SEA OF DUST.  Icon is the word that best describes Ms. Pitt.  She starred in THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, COUNTESS DRACULA and THE WICKER MAN just to name a few of her credits.

She was born in 1937 in Poland to a German father and Jewish mother.  She survived a concentration camp during WWII.  Amazing.

She released an autobiography, LIFE'S A SCREAM.  I think I'm going to have to look it up.

The horror world will greatly miss her talent and beauty.
