Just read Hammer Glamour by Marcus Hearn. This is a coffee table photo essay book that details in bold color most of the starlets of the British horror/sci-fi studio Hammer Films. It includes previously unpublished studio/promotional photographs, interviews, lots of behind the scenes info and "where are they now" updates.

Growing up in the seventies and eighties I got to see Hammer Films replayed on local TV shows "Creature Feature", "Sir Graves Ghastly" and "Thriller".

A large part of the Hammer attraction , besides the sets, outre storylines and seemingly lavish productions was the heroines or damsels in distress. This included such women as Ingrid Pitt, Caroline Munro, Joanna Lumley, Natassia Kinski, Kate O'Mara, Ursula Andress, Madeleine Smith and Raquel Welch.
This is a great book for any fan of Hammer films or horror movies in general. They don't make horror movies like Hammer any more.

And did I mention that the book is full of beautiful women?


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
