Very nice. The word 'puptent' has now been stored in my mental
retrieval system . Just looking for the right occasion on which to use
it.
Cheers,

Heh ... *Everybody* loved her in "The Curse of Frankenstein.." I mean, they
actually jiggled ... and in the late 1950s, when you're 9 or 10 years old
... that was like hardcore porn ... Also, she had a daughter who was in
"TCoF" with her.

'Scream queen' Hazel Court dies at 82 in California
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES: Hazel Court, an English beauty who co-starred with the
likes of Boris Karloff and Vincent Price in "The Raven" and other
popular horror movies of the 1950s and '60s, has died. She was 82.
Court died Tuesday at her home near Lake Tahoe from a heart attack,
her daughter, Sally Walsh of Los Angeles, said Wednesday.
While she had a substantial acting career both in England and on
American TV, Court was perhaps best known for her work in such films
as 1963's "The Raven." She co-starred with Price, Karloff, and Peter
Lorre in a Roger Corman take on the classic Edgar Allen Poe poem.
Corman directed her in five movies. Like other "scream queens" of the
era, Court's roles often relied on her cleavage and her ability to
shriek in fear and die horrible deaths.
"The Premature Burial," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Curse of
Frankenstein" and "Devil Girl from Mars" helped propel her to cult
status and brought her fan mail even in her later years.
"She'd probably get over 100 pieces of fan mail a month and she would
reply to every single one," her daughter said.
Court had finished an autobiography, "Hazel Court — Horror Queen,"
which will be published in Britain, Walsh said.
The daughter of a professional cricket player, Court was born Feb. 10,
1926, in the English town of Sutton Coldfield. As a teenager, she was
appearing in stage productions when she was spotted and signed by the
J. Arthur Rank Organisation, which owned movie studios and theaters.
She got her first movie bit part by the time she was 18 and went on to
become a popular actress and a pinup girl, her daughter said.
"She was one of the great beauties of all time," Walsh said. "She was
a redhead with really green eyes and almost ... the perfect face. She
was on the cover of almost every magazine."
She appeared in some of the low-budget Hammer horror movies and co-
starred with Patrick O'Neal in the 1957 British TV comedy series "Dick
and the Duchess." In the late 1950s, she came to the United States to
work on the TV show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
In addition to her acting career, Court was a commissioned sculptor
and painter whose works appeared in public galleries.
"She would go to Italy every year and carve," Walsh said. "She loved
stone and the loved the idea of million-year-old pieces of marble."
Walsh said that Court is also survived by another daughter, Courtney
Taylor of Ojai; a son, Jonathan Taylor of Reno, Nevada, and two
stepdaughters Anne Taylor Fleming of Los Angeles and Avery Taylor of
San Francisco.

Hazel Court, who died on Tuesday 15 Apr 2008, in California aged 82,
brought an impressive cleavage and a penetrating scream to a number of
popular horror films. During the 1960s Hazel Court, a redhead,
appeared in three films adapted from the works of Edgar Allan Poe,
earning herself the sobriquet "Hollywood Gothic Fox".

Don't hold your breath for the book from Tomahawk press.
Last year, they (eventually) published an unauthorised biography of Patrick
McGoohan which read as being more about the author than his subject.
It seems the only person to give it a positive review was a close chum of
the author and the publisher, writing under a pseudonym on Amazon.
Due to a threat of being sued, a book on James Bond that they did manage to
get out has now been withdrawn and all copies have been ordered to be
destroyed.

My dad bought (or was given) a copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover as soon as it
cleared the UK courts.
I found it in the airing cupboard and saw which pages it fell open at.

You're right. The first two bios for Hazel that I read said she was
Anne's mother, and I fell for it. Don and Phyllis divorced when Anne
was five. Thanks for the backstop.

One of Hazel's two daughters (with husband Don Taylor, the actor and
director) is Anne Taylor Fleming, who's frequently on the NewsHour
with Jim Lehrer. She did a lot of radio commentary for CBS when I was
there.
And so on ...
