| Lady in red: Barbara Shelley in QUATERMASS AND THE PIT. |
A classy beauty with a simmering on screen sex appeal soon brought out by the likes of vampires and alien influences during the many classic HAMMER HORROR films of which she'd appear and be so fondly remembered, British actress Barbara Shelley is a well deserved cult favourite here and overseas, where's she been in everything from BLAKE'S 7 to THE SAINT- even going Stateside to help THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. in one classic B/W episode.

Personally, I'll always enjoy her appearance in the excellent film version of Nigel Kneale's QUATERMASS AND THE PIT sci-fi chiller, where she played helpful researcher Barbara Judd. And, having been so used to seeing her in period costumes, it was a sexy surprise at the time seeing her wearing a sexy tartan miniskirt, its fashionable cut often revealing some welcome thigh.
