We’re big fans of Corman and AIP up in here so when we hear that Robert Quarry is getting the big-time shaft it comes to us as a huge bummer. But they say tragedy comes in threes and from the looks of this news piece, we’re turning the corner at number 2 relating to American International Pictures stars.
On tuesday, british actress and frequent AIP star Hazel Court died of a heart attack in her home at the age of 82. Ms. Court is best known for starring opposite Vincent Price in some of AIP’s best productions, the Poe adaptations. Notably as the doomed Juliana from Masque of the Red Death and Lenore in the stellar production of The Raven.
Sad news for horror hounds everywhere. Ms. Court was one of the model actresses to define the term ’scream queen’. She will be missed.
