British actress Hazel Court brought beauty, grace, and even a little menace when she starred in a string of horror and suspense movies between the years of 1952 and 1964, after which she retired from acting to focus on her family and a career as a sculpture. Before appearing in "Ghost Ship" (1952), she had been on the path to be a more traditional leading lady-type actress, but horror fans are forever grateful for the turn her career took at that point.
Among the two dozen or so horror pictures she appeared in are superb films like "The Curse of Frankenstein" and "Masque of the Red Death" and "classics" like "Devil Girl from Mars."
Hazel Court passed away in 2008 at the age of 72.
