SUPERBABE 594: JENNY HANLEY

She's best known and beloved as the classy presenter of the young children's magazine programme on UK ITV in the mid to late seventies, Magpie. But before that, the ever-lovely Jenny Hanley was a rising star sex symbol in the British film industry, showing her gorgeous body in Hammer Horror classic The Scars of Dracula (lucky Christopher Lee having her on his vampiric radar!) and superb nylon stocking clad legs in films like the Peter Sellers comedy Soft Beds, Hard Battles. 

Stunning in stockings for the World War II UK comedy, Soft Beds, Hard Battles.

A fishnet legged delight for the seventies.

A proper seventies sex kitten.

SUPERBABE 558: VERONICA CARLSON

She was the succulent and sexy seventies era HAMMER Horror film star that all the studio's classic monsters wanted to get their teeth and claws on, not surprisingly, especially with that stunning figure on display. Yes, its the genre icon Veronica Carlson, continuing to inspire fans worldwide with her well-displayed charms and mix of sex appeal with vulnerability.

SUPERBABE 522: SUSAN DENBERG

More classic hot babe nostalgia, this time back to the sixties and the gorgeous, shapely Austrian actress/Playboy model Susan Denberg, perhaps best known for her role as one of 'Mudd's Women' from the classic 1966 Star Trek episode, where stars Wiliam Shatner and Leonard Nimoy also enjoyed the new female guest star company on the starship Enterprise for some fun photo publicity, and for the film that used her figure and beauty so exceptionally well - the cult Hammer Horror studios gem Frankenstein Created Woman. And what a great job Peter Cushing's infamous Doctor did there, eh?!

With thanks to WiilieT for selected imagery.

SUPERBABE 187: MADELINE SMITH

Always playing the ripe innocent or juicy virgin to be devoured or possessed by vampires and other ghouls in the classic HAMMER HORROR films of the 70's, or having her dress zip magnetically dropped by Roger Moore's wandering hands James Bond 007 in his first screen outing, model turned actress, comedienne and writer Madeline Smith has rightly become a much beloved icon and presence in the world of film and TV, and to its aficionados - the classic images of her spectacular bosom and desirable come to bed eyes endlessly enchanting.

SUPERBABE 116: BARBARA SHELLEY

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.

SUPERBABE 30: INGRID PITT

Sadly gone but never forgotten, the stunning Polish-born actress who would become the genuine queen of fantasy and horror, and especially sensational in representing the cause of lesbian vampires: the great and gorgeous Ingrid Pitt.
