I'm sick of finding out about interesting people only after they die.

She looks familiar but I don't remember what Twilight Zone she was in. Anyone know which episode and what part she played?

Hazel Court was sublime in Masque of the Red Death.  She brought a certain special touch to all her roles.

She would have been a marvelous guest player on DS--I can see her portraying an evil Baroness adept in Witchcraft who challenges Angelique ...

Masque of the Red Death is such a fantastic movie!

Ah, all our legends are leaving us.  [sad7]

I've always found her the most attractive of the classic horror film actresses. Beautiful, elegant, stacked filmography. A devastating knockout. May she rest in peace.

You need to pay more attention to birth announcements.

In addition to the list of credits found via the link in the main topic, here's a fan page that might answer sallycollins' question:

I'm surprised no one has made any comparisons to other "Scream Queen" Barbara Steele, but since the discussion has strayed off topic for the most part and has become redundant, it's now locked and the last post was removed.  Thanks.
